50 kroner – Faroe – Is this real money?

Is this real money?

This coin, made of as many as 3 metals, shows what Faroe Islands money could look like.
Currently, Danish kroner are used on the Faroe Islands archipelago because it is an autonomous region, and this attempt to make their own money is just a fantasy.
What are those mysterious Celtic crosses on the coin? And why is there a ram in the center?

In fact, there is not much mystery here. The coin is simply an attempt by private medalist Joseph E. Lang to imagine what Faroe Islands money could look like.
In 2011, he created a whole series, where the 50 kroner coin is the largest and most beautiful.
It consists of 3 metals — nickel, copper, and brass, and the word PRØVE protects it from being classified as a counterfeit.

Interestingly, the Faroe Islands can be called a region of sheep. With a population of around 50,000 people, there are about 80,000 sheep here.
That is exactly why the ram is in the center of the coin. The Celtic crosses are also not just a pretty design.
They are a nod to the Irish hermit monks who were the first to settle this archipelago back in the 6th century.
