Born in Hungary but later becoming a British citizen, Paul Vincze was one of the most original, influential and artistic sculptor-medalists of the 20th Century, winning commissions to design commemorative medallions and coinage for use the World over. Among his many notable subjects were Presidents Truman and Kennedy, Pope Paul VI and Sir Winston Churchill, and in 1953 he was requested to design one of the official medals for the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, Her Majesty sitting for him during several sessions.

Vincze studied art at the Hungarian University of Arts and Design in Budapest, followed by private study under medalist Ede Talcs and in Rome from 1935 to 1937, supported by a travelling scholarship. He returned to Hungary after his studies, but moved to England in 1938 because of Nazi persecution. He set up a studio in London and became a British citizen in 1948. He became an Art Workers' Guild member and a Fellow of the Royal Society of British Sculptors (FRBS) in 1961, until he retired in 1978.
