object type: The Royal Geographical Society established the award of a gold Patron's Medal in 1839 on the basis of a gift of King William IV.

This example is a bronze specimen of the design from Wyon's workshop, which was passed down to his descendant, Allan Gairdner Wyon of whose own rework of the medal for George V the Museum also has a specimen, and from there to the Museum through his family.
