1 Krone Second emergency issue

When Germany occupied Denmark in April 1940, the Faroe Islands fell into an unusual administrative gap — the islands were simultaneously cut off from Copenhagen's currency supply and occupied (from the Allied side) by British forces, who landed within days of the Danish capitulation. The existing Danish krone notes could no longer be reliably resupplied, so the Faerø Amt took the extraordinary step of issuing its own emergency currency, a power no Danish county administration had ever exercised before or since.

Bradbury Wilkinson printed this second emergency issue in London — a direct consequence of the British military presence making such an arrangement logistically possible. The notes circulated under British occupation until the war's end, when Denmark resumed normal currency supply in 1945.
