| Obverse description | The face is printed in blue and pink tones, with the denomination '1 Kr.' in the upper corners flanking the central heading 'FÆRØERNE' in bold serif lettering. The large central legend 'EN KRONE' is set within a guilloche underprint, below which a four-line text inscription authorises the note as legal tender on behalf of Danmarks Nationalbank. Flanking palm-branch vignettes frame the design, with the issuing authority 'FÆRØ AMT, NOVEMBER 1940' and a manuscript signature above the title 'AMTMAND' appearing in the lower portion alongside two serial numbers. |

| Reverse description | The back is printed entirely in blue and pink tones with a dense all-over guilloche pattern formed by repeated microtext reading 'DANMARK' and 'FÆRØERNE' in alternating rows, creating a fine lathe-work security background. At centre, an oval cartouche with ornamental cornerpieces carries the denomination '1 Krone' in bold italic lettering. The overall design is bordered by a fine geometric frame consistent with emergency wartime printing standards. |
