The Commission of Fine Arts considered designs for a congressional gold medal honoring war crimes prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz and made suggestions of possible modifications.
The Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee will be gathering in late October with a number of items to consider including designs for medals, future quarter dollars and reviewing reports.
Ferencz's first case resulted in the conviction of 22 former Nazi commanders for war crimes. Later in life, the Jewish lawyer championed the idea of the International Criminal Court.
