The Royal Society of New South Wales Medal
The Society's Bronze Medal was the first initiative of the Society to recognize its members' contributions, deriving in concept from the Society's Money Prize of 1882. It was awarded for published papers from 1884 to 1896, together with a money prize of £25, but was discontinued from 1897 to 1942.
In 1943, it was revived (without the money prize) as an award for a member of the Society who had made meritorious contributions to the advancement of science, including administration and organization of scientific endeavour and for services to the Society.
