The Lhotka Memorial Prize was endowed in 1962 by the late Honorary Fellow, Professor J.F. Lhotka (University of Oklahoma), in memory of his father, Dr. J.F. Lhotka.
It is awarded to the author of the book or article in English considered most helpful to the elementary student of numismatics and published in the previous two calendar years.
Submissions, with a copy of the word submitted, may be made by any person before the 30th September each year to the Secretary of the Society. The winner will be decided by the Council in its December meeting.
