NEMON, Oscar  (1906-1985) Yugoslav-English sculptor, coin designer.

          Born Osijek, Yugoslavia, 13 March 1906.
          After study in his native Osijek, Vienna and Paris he
          moved to England 1939 prior to outbreak of World War II.
          He prepared busts and statues of British Royalty and
          famous government officials (often from life). He also
          prepared a bust of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

          He was the designer of the British 1965 Winston Churchill
          crown  (KM 910) but was disappointed in the coin's final
          form. In 1969 he was commissioned by Neil S. Cooper of
          International Numismatic Agency, New York City, to
          prepare the Churchill portrait he wanted to do originally.
          This appeared as the Churchill D-Day 25th Anniv Medal.
          Died Oxford, England,  13 April 1985. His papers are at
          Churchill College, Cambridge, donated by daughter Alice
          Nemon Stuart, 2003.
