Ondřej Sekora was a Czech journalist, cartoonist, and author best known for creating Ferda Mravenec — Ferda the Ant — a character that became a fixture of Czech children's literature from the 1930s onward. The Czech National Bank's commemorative silver series has consistently honored figures from Czech cultural and literary life, and Sekora fits squarely in that tradition. He spent part of World War II in the Mauthausen concentration camp, a fact that adds considerable weight to his postwar output of warmly humanist children's illustration.
