Faroese 100-krone banknote

The 100-krone banknote was issued in 2012 with updated security features. The motifs are a fragment of a cod’s tail printed in intaglio and a watercolour of Klaksvík, one of the most important Faroese fishing ports.

Motifs
The common motif on the notes depicts Faroese animals. On the face of the notes the animals are shown as fragments. On the reverse, watercolours of Faroese landscapes by the Faroese artist Zacharias Heinesen (b. 1936) are reproduced. The fauna motifs contribute life and variation to the notes, while the watercolours lend a special quality of lightness.
