In the report of the Anniversary Meeting on the Sequicentenary of the Society, in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1974, p.195, it was recorded that the Queen presented a special commemorative gold medal to Sir Gerard Clauson who had served the Society as both President and Director. There is no mention of this in the Council Minutes, however there was a separate Sesquicentenary Committee, which may have made the decision regarding the Medal.
