Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society

The Medal of the Royal Numismatic Society was first awarded in 1883. It is awarded by the Royal Numismatic Society and is one of the highest markers of recognition given to numismatists. The president and Council award the medal annually to an "individual highly distinguished for services to Numismatic Science".[1]

In recent years the medallist has been invited to receive the medal in person and to give a lecture, usually at the society's December Meeting.

Sir John Evans gave the dies for the original silver medal to the society in 1883. The current medal was commissioned from Ian Rank-Broadley in 1993 and is a cast silver medal with the classical theme of Heracles and the Nemean lion.[2] The society commissioned Robert Elderton to create a new medal in 2020–21[3]
