AFFER, Constantino (1906- ) Italian sculptor, medalist, Milan.
For the most part his medallic work was produced as
diecast medals in white metal that were plated to look
like silver (thus are lighter weight than solid silver).
In America his medals were imported by Nebraska
Numismatics, Omaha (1960-71), and explains why
a Milanese artist in Italy prepared such incongruous
works as Nebraska Cornhuskers Football medals for
midwest America.
