| The Nobel Prize for Peace A committee
of five elected by the Norwegian Storting (Parliament) is
responsible for choosing the recipient(s) of the Nobel
Prize for Peace.
The face of the Peace Prize shows Alfred Nobel in a
pose slightly different from that of the other medals.
The obverse depicts a group of three men forming a
fraternal bond. The inscription reads Pro pace et
fraternitate gentium, which translates to "For
the peace and brotherhood of men." The medal was
designed by Gustav Vigeland.
