Refounded by the FNMT in 1990, the prestigious Tomás Francisco Prieto award honors the former General Engraver of the Mint of King Carlos III while trying to promote the medal as a support for contemporary art. From that date until today, these awards, which include the minting of a medal, have gone to contemporary artists, Spanish and Latin American, of universal prestige and fame: Eduardo Chillida was the first of them.
