And likewise, it probably does not value a gold medal. gold/silver/bronze in the rat world is probably more like: peanut butter/cheese/grain

  A cheese medallion seems like a fitting award for a rat.

Realistically this is a nice recognition for the handlers and the program that also has a cute news angle. It's a win-win, if the program has attention and funding the rat keeps getting lunch
