File:FAR-11a-Faroe Islands-10 Kroner (1940).jpg
Original – Faroe Islands, 10 kroner (in circulation October to December, 1940). As a result of the World War II German invasion of Denmark, this issue of currency was the first locally-printed and circulated (banknotes) in the Faroe Islands.
Reason
High quality, high EV, good condition. During Operation Weserübung (the German World War II invasion of Denmark and Norway in April, 1940), the Faroe Islands were temporarily cut off from the Danish National Bank (their currency issuing institution). At first specially stamped Danish notes were circulated, but in October 1940 new notes were locally printed “on behalf of the National Bank of Denmark.”

  • Fairly certain that's not correct. The Danish cut-off for the URAA was 1996, whereas this note only became PD in 2010. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 09:46, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Withdraw--While Commons guidelines indicate that the reproduction of Danish National Banknotes is not allowed, the Danish National Bank does permit reproduction under specific circumstances. The size/quality of the present image exceeds what is allowed. Once this FPC is closed, I will nominate the file for deletion. --Godot13 (talk) 20:21, 7 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
