The latter addition to the medal was granted as a privilege by the present Prince. It is known as the “Royal Medal.”<br /> <br /> Obverse.—A diadem of gold, sustaining the Prince of Wales’ feathers in silver, irradiated with gold, and surrounded by a garter of blue enamel, and the motto, “Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense,” <br /> in gold letters.<br /> <br /> Reverse.—Engraved “Ich Dien,” otherwise plain.<br /> <br /> It is of gold (the feathers being of silver) and enamel. It is the badge of the Prince of Wales’ Lodge, No. 259, London, the membership of which is very limited.<br /> <br /> Hughan gives not only an engraving of this medal, but also a brief yet very interesting account of the lodge and some privileges attached to the jewel.<br /> <br /> [[File:Previous.JPG|left|link=Jewels presented to or by Members and including Jewels where the purpose in not known|50px]]</div>
