Pingat Diraja

Pingat Diraja, yang juga dikenali sebagai Pingat Raja dan Pingat Permaisuri (bergantung kepada jantina raja pada masa penganugerahan), adalah pingat perak, di mana tiga diberikan setiap tahun oleh Royal Society, dua untuk "sumbangan yang paling penting dalam kemajuan pengetahuan semulajadi" dan satu untuk "sumbangan cemerlang dalam sains gunaan", yang dilakukan dalam Negara-Negara Komanwel. Anugerah ini dibuat oleh George IV dan dianugerahkan pertama pada tahun 1826. Pada mulanya terdapat dua medali yang dianugerahkan, kedua-duanya untuk penemuan yang paling penting dalam tahun sebelumnya, tempoh masa yang dipanjangkan kepada lima tahun dan kemudian dipendekkan kepada tiga. Format ini disokong oleh William IV dan Victoria, yang mempunyai keadaan berubah pada tahun 1837 supaya matematik adalah subjek yang mana Medali Diraja boleh dianugerahkan, walaupun hanya setiap tahun ketiga. Keadaan ini telah diubah sekali lagi pada tahun 1850 supaya:
... Pingat-pingat Diraja dalam setiap tahun harus dianugerahkan untuk dua sumbangan paling penting dalam kemajuan Pengetahuan Semula, yang diterbitkan pada asalnya dalam kekuasaan-Nya di dalam tempoh tidak lebih dari sepuluh tahun dan tidak kurang dari satu tahun dari tarikh anugerah, mata pelajaran, sudah tentu, kepada kelulusan Yang Mulia. ...dalam penganugerahan Pingat DiRaja, satu harus diberikan dalam setiap dua bahagian Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam.

Pada tahun 1965, sistem telah diubah menjadi format semasa, di mana tiga Pingat dianugerahkan setiap tahun oleh Raja atas cadangan Royal Society Council. Kerana sifat keduanya (untuk kedua-dua sains fizikal dan biologi) pemenang anugerah dipilih oleh kedua-dua Jawatankuasa Anugerah sebelah A dan B. Sejak ditubuhkan pada tahun 1826, pingat telah dianugerahkan 405 kali.
