Hawkins: Sir Godfrey Copley in 1709 bequeathed the sum of one hundred pounds, the interest of which was to be annually presented by Trustees, named by himself, to any distinguished discoverer or improver in matters of science. After the death of these Trustees, the disposal was entrusted to the Council of the Royal Society, which body already in 1736 had converted the money payment into a gold medal. Specimens in silver and copper were only struck as proofs or for the gratification of collectors.
