Nitro Nobel Gold Medal

The Nitro Nobel Gold Medal is an explosives industry award given by the Company of Sweden (now part of Dyno Nobel).^[1]

The medal is gold, and features the same obverse as the Nobel Prize, but a different reverse. The medal has sometimes been confused with the Nobel Prize.

The award has only been given three times since its creation in 1967. The recipients are:

1967 — Dr. , for the development of a theory he developed to explain the accidental initiation of liquid explosives^[2]
1968 — Dr. Melvin A. Cook, for the discovery of slurry explosives^[3]
1990 — Dr. Per-Anders Persson for the invention of the Nonel fuze.^[1]
