Nobel Peace Prize to Be Made From Fairmined Gold

For the first time, the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize will be fashioned from Fairmined gold.

The prize (pictured, right), featuring the head of Alfred Nobel, was struck at the Royal Norwegian Mint in Kongsberg. The prize will be presented on Dec. 10 to Tunisia’s National Dialogue Quartet, which is credited with avoiding a civil war in Tunisia following the Arab Spring, which began in 2011.
