| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Plain unadorned note with the denomination numeral '10' printed at top and bottom in large letterpress type. A central block of text in Danish sets out the legal authority for issue, citing Kundgørelse Nr. 32 of 14 October 1940 as ratified by the Faroese Lagting and confirmed by the Amt Governor, with the issuing authority 'Færø Amt' and date of issue stated below. The overall design is entirely typographic, reflecting the emergency circumstances of its production. |

When British forces occupied the Faroe Islands in April 1940 — cutting the islands off from German-occupied Denmark — the local administration faced an immediate cash shortage. Banknotes from Copenhagen could no longer be shipped, so Faroese authorities produced their own emergency currency using whatever printing resources were locally available. H. N. Jacobsens Bókahandil was a bookshop and stationer, not a security printer. The resulting notes are visibly crude by any professional standard, which is precisely what makes them historically significant.
This is among the most improvised wartime currency issues in Scandinavian numismatic history.
