The Lichtenstein Medal, also known as the Alfred F. Lichtenstein Memorial Award for Distinguished Service to Philately is given annually to a living individual for outstanding service to philately.
Origin
The Lichtenstein Medal was established by the Collectors Club of New York in 1952 in honor of noted philatelist Alfred F. Lichtenstein (1876-1947).
The Lichtenstein Medal is similar in importance in philately with the Lindenberg Medal awarded by the Berliner Philatelisten-Klub of Germany for investigations and contributions to philatelic literature.
