There's another set of Faroese Krone's that circulated in WWII too after their friendly 'occupation', made in London and almost identical to Danish currency.
Surprised that site hasn't tried to grab them; they are relatively valuable lol.

The only difference is the heart mint mark, which is absent on the Faroese coins.

Yep that and the mintmasters initials if I recall correctly. After WWII, the Danish allowed those coins to circulate regularly inside Denmark itself too, which seems a very rare modern instance of a state accepting 'faked' coins.
The copper 5 ore was the 1927 - 1940 Danish type and 1941 coins were sent to the Faeroes and are fairly scarce (I didn't pay much for it in a world lot).
The aluminium 5 ore was what was issued for Denmark proper in 1941 and is the occupation era coinage of Tykslanders occupying Danmark.
Notice the copper 5 ore is missing the heart you usually see on all Danish coins.
I love coins. Especially silver, gold and anything really old.

It is nice, but hardly worth $30USD for a set of fantasy patterns.
So the last real coin is my Faroese 5 Ore coin of 1941.

Yes, the 1941 copper set is the only official coins of the Faroe Islands. If you check out tje Greenlandic fantasy set you'll notice that even that set has a tri-metallic coin. These are only fantasy coins.
