Elisif "Siv" Ingeborg Muse Holme (June 27, 1914 - December 5, 2001), Swedish painter and sculptor.
Holme collaborated with many international organizations, in demand for her handmade medallions often finished with a special patina coating. In 1996, UNESCO commissioned Holme to build the organization's very first commemorative medal, a metal token to celebrate their 20th anniversary.
Similarly, IBM commissioned Holme to produce a medal honoring the company's local employees after 10 years of service. The silver coins, struck by the Administration des Monnaies et Médailles, reflect his impressions of contemporary Paris on the one hand, and the high-tech world on the other.
Many of Holme's surviving works are now held by the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
