fidem Medal
This medal was created in 2020 as a prize to be given to people for their support of the art of the medal and replaces the FIDEM at 70 medal. It was selected at a competition which was, due to the corona pandemic, held online. The competition was for a medal that celebrates the ethos of FIDEM and its support of the art and study of the medal, both contemporary and historical.
The medal by Anna Wątróbska-Wdowiarska (Poland) is FIDEM’s premier award and will be conferred on those deemed to have assisted FIDEM in its aims in a very significant way. It was awarded for the first time during the XXXVI online congress (Tokyo) in December 2021.

- Valeria Vettorato for her invaluable work on the exhibition and catalogue
- Rosa Maria Villani for arranging the competition for the official medal at the Scuola dell’Arte della Medaglia
- Matteo Parri and Caterina Dali of Picchiani & Barlacchi for facilitating the visit to the firm and helping to make the congress such a success
