Can any one help me with a medal my husband has from his grandfather / great grandfather. (I hasten to add he never met this man but it was passed down to him)

This is a silver medal and on the side it has the following. 6245.Dr. C Pryer. c/3.R.A. Unfortunately there is no ribbon with it or any bars. Where does one go to find out more information

The name is Charles but the surname was spelt incorrectly. the date on the back is 1878-79-80

Any help would be appreciated

Regards
