The 2011 upgrade to this denomination was driven by the Faroese decision to bring the 1000 króna note into line with revised European security standards — the thick thread variant replaced the earlier thin-thread version of essentially the same design, which had circulated since 2004. Zacharias Heinesen designed the underlying artwork, and the series is notable for being one of the few currency programs of a non-sovereign territory to commission original fine-art designs rather than repurposing existing iconography.
At just over 12 million printed by De La Rue, the run was substantial for a population of under 50,000 — most of this note's working life was in tourist-adjacent retail and inter-island commerce rather than everyday pocket use.
