Motifs
The ram's horn on the face of the 50-krone banknote is printed in intaglio.
The background depicts a watercolour of a stone wall. The principal motif on the reverse of the banknote is a hillside near the village of Sumba on the west side of Suðuroy. Since the area is a typical pasture for sheep and rams, there is a natural link between the ram on the face and the landscape on the reverse of the 50-krone banknote.
The motif on the reverse of the 50-krone banknote is a hillside near the village of Sumba.
The watercolours are by the Faroese artist Zacharias Heinesen.
