He studied at the State School of Applied Arts in Munich.[2] In 1947, he created the Wise virgins and Foolish virgins medal for the Society of Medalists.

In 1935 Kreis designed the Connecticut Tercentenary half dollar and in 1936 the Bridgeport, Connecticut, Centennial half dollar.

gollark: You'd need rails or something all the way across the Atlantic.
gollark: Oh, and possible new transport thing for the ultrarich: suborbital rocket to a different continent.
gollark: That sounds very cool if quite possibly impractical.
gollark: There aren't that many alternatives.
gollark: Personally, my suggested climate-change-handling policies:- massively scale up nuclear fission power, it's just great in most ways- invest in better rail infrastructure - maglevs are extremely cool™ and fast™ and could maybe partly replace planes?- electric cars could be rented from a local "pool" for intra-city transport, which would save a lot of cost on batteries- increase grid interconnectivity so renewables might be less spotty- impose taxes on particularly badly polluting things- do research into geoengineering things which can keep the temperature from going up as much- increase standards for reparability; we lose so many resources to randomly throwing stuff away because they're designed with planned obsolecence- a very specific thing related to that bit above there - PoE/other low-voltage power grids in homes, since centralizing all the AC→DC conversion circuitry could improve efficiency, lower costs of end-user devices, and make LED lightbulbs less likely to fail (currently some of them include dirt-cheap PSUs which have all *kinds* of problems)
