The medals are awarded in bronze, silver or gold and given very sparingly, so that to receive one is the mark of a genuinely impressive action. The medal was created in 1824, but the piece here, a bronze specimen from the workshop of the designer Leonard Wyon, records also the date of the Institution's incorporation in 1860 and shows a later portrait of Victoria, and must be the prototype of the medal's updated version made at that time. The Museum also has a still later update from the reign of George V.
