This bronze medal was specially commissioned to celebrate the Tercentenary of the birth of Carl Linnaeus. Only 300 of these beautiful bronze medals (one for each year of the Tercen tenary) have been produced. In celebration of Linnaeus' Tercentenary, the Society recognised the continuing importance of the communication of natural history, and biological sciences, to raise both professional and public awareness of our understanding of the natural world, its wonders and the threats facing it. Owning one of these very special limited editions, you will share in a part of history. Image: Obverse: Linnaeus' drawing of Andromeda from his Lapland journey.
