Royal Medal

Royal Medal, også kendt som The Queen's Medal og The King's Medal (afhængig af kønnet på den siddende monark) er en forgyldt sølvmedalje, der bliver tildelt tre af hvert år af Royal Society. To bliver givet til "det vigtigste bidrag til udviklingen af naturvidenskabelig viden" og én bliver givet for "fremtrædende bidrag til anvende videnskaber", der er foretaget i within the Commonwealth of Nations.^[1]

Prisen blev indstiftet af Georg 4. af Storbritannien i 1826, og den gives udelukkende til britiske videnskabsfolk.
