Faroe Islands Ram and Eider Ducks

Faroe Islands · 1940 · 60 øre

This definitive stamp features a central vignette of a ram, a symbol of the Faroe Islands, set against a coastal backdrop. The frame is ornately decorated and includes two eider ducks at the bottom, further representing the local fauna. The denomination '60 ØRE' is prominently displayed at the top, with 'FØROYAR' inscribed below the main image.

Issued during the British occupation of the Faroe Islands in World War II, this series was locally produced as supplies from Denmark were cut off. This stamp is part of the second definitive set printed in Copenhagen just before the occupation and later overprinted.
