Alcohol-Fueled Car Medals

Using alcohol or ethanol as fuel is not new technology, and two French gold medals submitted for certification to the Shanghai, China, PCGS office are evidence of the technology that existed 120 years ago. Pictured below is the 1902 medal, awarded to Delahaye, a French automotive manufacturing company. Designed by Alphee Dubois and it features two women, one pointing to a book with the word “SCIENCE” on the spine, and another female figure holding a bundle of wheat, likely representing the Greek goddess Demeter.
