Leonardo da Vinci Medal

The Leonardo da Vinci Medal is the highest award of the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT), and was first given in 1962.[1] In general this award is granted annually to scholars who have contributed outstandingly to the history of technology through research, teaching, publication or other activities. The prize consists of a certificate and a medal.

The medal is a circular bronze medallion designed by the Hungarian expressionist sculptor András Beck. The face depicts the head of Leonardo da Vinci based on one of his self-portraits and the reverse depicts "the basic sources of energy (water, wind, and fire)," in the sculptor's words.[2]
