 Royal Philharmonic Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Philharmonic Society is a British music society, formed in 1813.
In 1827 Beethoven wrote to the society outlining his straitened circumstances; at a special general meeting the society resolved to send the composer £100 immediately (George Bernard Shaw once referred to this as "the only creditable incident in English history").
The medal depicts the profile of a bust of Beethoven by Schaller which was presented to the society in 1870, Beethoven's centenary.
