The organization says that it acknowledges the bank note series for making an “excellent contribution to the development of paper money”. So far, only on rare occasions, have designers managed to obtain such quality and such beauty in bank notes based on watercolours. The judges point out that whilst most bank notes have motifs that originally are photographed or painted, the new series of Faroese bank notes are based on watercolour pictures. The panel singled out these motifs as a principal reason for selecting the Faroese 1,000-kroner note. In its announcement declaring the award-winner, the panel of judges commended, among other points, the excellent adaptation of the motifs created by artist Zacharias Heinesen. "We feel that this note fully deserves this honour”, the International Bank Note Society writes, among other things, in a letter to the Governor of the National Bank, Nils Bernstein.Īccording to the panel of judges at IBNS, the Faroese bank note is unusual, beautiful and is described as a "fine example of the work of the modern security printer". The honour of "Bank Note of the Year, 2006" is awarded for a bank note released in 2005 and which the judges feel evinces artistic merit, imaginative design and security. (Monetary and currency matters are Danish competence areas.) In a statement from IBNS, the president of the organization, Peter Symes, congratulated the Faroes and the Danish National Bank on the occasion of this award. International recognition of Faroese bank notes The International Bank Note Society, an international association of collectors of bank notes, has chosen the Faroese bank note to receive this honour.
