Interesting fact

The 10 Øre coin from the Faroe Islands featuring Christian X has an interesting fact: it was minted during the Nazi occupation of Denmark in 1941. Despite the occupation, the coin still features the portrait of Christian X, who was the King of Denmark at the time. This highlights the resilience and determination of the Faroese people to maintain their cultural identity and independence during a time of great turmoil.
