Motifs on the Banknote
The motif of the purple sandpiper is printed in intaglio. The bird is found in the Faroe Islands and has been chosen for the fine details shown by the contrast in its wings. Behind the purple sandpiper, a watercolour of a flock of birds is reproduced.
The motif on the reverse is a watercolour of the view from the island of Sandoy. Both watercolours are by Zacharias Heinesen.
