Felix Schlag

Felix Oscar Schlag, (December 4, 1891 - March 9, 1974), was the designer of the current United States five cent coin. He was born in Frankfurt, Germany, and moved to the United States in 1929. As a teenager, Schlag served in the German army of World War I. Schlag won $1,000 United States dollars for his winning design of the coin; he had been an award-winning artist in Europe. In the 1930s, Felix won several sculptural commissions and art prizes. Schlag accepted the offer of the American government to place his initials, FS, on the nickel beginning in 1966. The designer lived in Michigan and is buried in Owosso (in that state).
