| Opmerkingen |
When Germany occupied Denmark in April 1940, the Faroese authorities faced an immediate practical problem: the islands were under British protection from that same month, and Danish banknotes were suddenly unusable for trade with the occupying British forces. The solution was to overstamp existing Danish notes — specifically Nationalbanken 100 Kroner notes — with a Faroese government stamp, effectively creating a distinct local currency almost overnight.
Pick 5 encompasses several distinct overprint types applied to different Heilmann-designed host notes, which is why the "Varius" designation exists — collectors are effectively chasing multiple varieties within a single catalog number. The overprint itself, not the underlying note, is the object of interest here.
