The Hedlinger Medal
The Elder Gustaf Adolf Medal is also known as the Hedlinger medal, after its engraver Johann Carl Hedlinger. The medal is awarded, in either gold or silver, to individuals who have served as dean for a very long term, to department heads who have initiated and directed extraordinarily significant work, and to individuals who have performed highly important work on a commissioned task force, and the like, of major scope or long duration.
