The Royal Numismatic Society presents a number of awards each year for outstanding work in various fields. The awards and their recipients over the years are listed below.

The Society is always keen to hear about new and innovative work, and welcomes nominations from members and non-members alike. Nominees do not have to be members of the Society.
