Royal Medal (or Queen's Medal) in frosted silver awarded in 1858 to William Lassell "for his various astronomical discoveries and researches." I would have preferred one of the examples inscribed to Michael Faraday or Charles Darwin, but neither was available.

William Lassel is not a bad "second-best". Royal Society medals aren't easy to come by, even for the more obscure awardees.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
