A Scandal in Bohemia. Irene gave him a gold sovereign for his help which he put on his watch chain.  You may recall that he also received a portrait of the lady at the conclusion of the story, as well.

While Irene Adler, aka Mrs. Godfrey Norton, was a main character in only one of Doyle’s stories, she is mentioned in four other stories – until now.
