Reginald George James Berry OBE (20 June 1906 – 6 November 1979) was a New Zealand artist, noted for creating a large number of postage stamp and coin designs.
His work included book covers and illustrations, but is most famous for more than 1,000 stamp, coin and medal designs.
Berry also designed stamps for Western Samoa, the Cook Islands, Niue, Tonga, and Bermuda.
[2] After a lengthy process, Berry was the artist for the final designs selected for New Zealand's decimal coins,[3] introduced in 1967 in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cents.
Berry's 10-cent and 50-cent designs remain in use today, although current coins are smaller than the originals.
