The Faroese Króna (FOK) is the official currency used in the Faroe Islands, issued by the Danish National Bank but featuring unique Faroese designs.
Although pegged 1:1 with the Danish Krone (DKK), Faroese notes are distinct in appearance and circulate exclusively within the islands.
The modern series showcases the Faroe Islands’ dramatic natural landscapes and rich wildlife, combining artistic watercolour illustrations with modern security features.
Each denomination highlights a different animal and a corresponding landscape, creating one of the most visually striking banknote series in the North Atlantic region.
These notes remain the primary legal tender across the Faroe Islands and are highly sought after by collectors due to their limited circulation and unique artistic style.

Before the introduction of the current watercolour‑themed series, the Faroe Islands used earlier generations of Króna banknotes that featured more traditional layouts, earlier portraits, and classic design elements.
These older notes were gradually replaced as the Danish National Bank modernised the currency and introduced the now‑iconic landscape series.
Outdated Faroese Króna notes are no longer used in everyday transactions but remain of strong interest to collectors due to their low print volumes, regional exclusivity, and the cultural heritage they represent.
At Thecurrencycounter.co.uk, we accept a wide range of outdated Faroese Króna notes, including early paper issues, transitional designs, and denominations no longer seen in circulation.
