constanius Posted May 31, 2008 Report Share Posted May 31, 2008 The Medal is the work of the designer & engraver Percy Metcalfe. Nobel Industries Limited, a company established by Alfred Nobel in Scotland and merged into Imperial Chemical Industries in 1927. Alfred Nobel the inventor of dynamite and the founder of the Nobel Peace Prize. Lovely 20's design. The design of the word BRiTiSH is classic!
