The second issue of Faroese 10 Krónur notes continued the arrangement established after World War II, under which Denmark printed and guaranteed Faroese currency separately from the mainland krone — a political compromise that acknowledged Faroese home rule without conceding full monetary independence. The notes were issued by Danmarks Nationalbank on behalf of the Faroese authorities, a dual-authority arrangement that remained a point of friction in Copenhagen-Tórshavn relations throughout the postwar decades.
Pick 18 is distinguished from the first issue primarily by serial number format changes and revised signature combinations reflecting new bank leadership by 1978.
