Description: | As well as giving medals the University of St Andrews has received many from other institutions. Among the medals presented to the University are those given to mark its 500th anniversary in 1911. Other medals were presented to the University of St Andrews by academic institutions to mark their own anniversaries. A medal marking the 500th anniversary of the birth of Copernicus was presented as a token of co-operation between the University of St Andrews and the Jagellonian University in Poland.
Medals presented to individual staff members are also held in the University's Museum Collections. For example, a gold medal presented by the Royal Society to James Colquhoun Irvine for chemical research, and a prize medal of the Linnean Society presented to the natural historian William Carmichael McIntosh. | Subjects: | Numismatics medal | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | HC:C88 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
