Opmerkingen

When British forces occupied the Faroe Islands in April 1940 — cutting the islands off from German-occupied Denmark — the local administration faced an immediate cash shortage. Banknotes from Copenhagen could no longer be shipped, so Faroese authorities produced their own emergency currency using whatever printing resources were locally available. H. N. Jacobsens Bókahandil was a bookshop and stationer, not a security printer. The resulting notes are visibly crude by any professional standard, which is precisely what makes them historically significant.

This is among the most improvised wartime currency issues in Scandinavian numismatic history.
