We present the observation of an isomeric decay in the very neutron deficient nucleus {sub 36}{sup 74}Kr. The isomer is interpreted as an excited 0{sup +} state, consistent with the long standing prediction of high deformation prolate/oblate shape coexistence in this nucleus. The magnitude of the E0 matrix element deduced for the 0{sub 2}{sup +}{r_arrow}0{sub 1}{sup +} transition gives strong support to the prediction of a highly deformed oblate rotor. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
