Dora de Pédery-Hunt, {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|CM|OOnt}} (16 November 1913 – 29 September 2008) was a Hungarian-Canadian sculptor who designed medals and coins. She was the first Canadian citizen to design an effigy for Queen Elizabeth II.[1]

Life

Dora de Pédery was born in Budapest, Hungary 16 November 1913. She trained at the Royal School of Fine and Applied Arts in Budapest, receiving a Masters Diploma in Sculpture in 1943.[2] After German forces occupied Hungary in March 1944, her family decided to flee west, fearing the Soviet advance from the east. They arrived in Hannover not long before its fall to the Allied forces.[3]

Five years later, through the sponsorship of Major Thomas S. Chutter, she immigrated to Canada.[4]

She died from colorectal cancer in Toronto, Ontario on 29 September 2008.[3]
