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.
