Let's head back to Iceland but stopping in at the Faeroe Islands on the way.
Wikipedia reference says:
The króna is the currency of the Faroe Islands. It is issued by Danmarks Nationalbank, the central bank of Denmark. It is not a separate currency, but is rather a local issue of banknotes denominated in the Danish krone, although Danish-issued coins are still used. Wikipedia
So perhaps a sample banknote may be appropriate. I hope

 

1941 Norway 5 ore

 

Russia.

 

Love those heavy hunks of copper. That one is very well centered and struck. Mine is about the same size and weight as the 1797 2 pence "Cartwheel" at about 52 grams.

 

And back to Britain. 1857 2 cents decimal pattern. Peck 1975. The wax is from when the coin was illustrated in the Clarke-Thornhill sale (1937)

 

Must have a glitch in my computer somewhere; I missed the Russia (daveydempsy) to Great Britain (robp) intervening post(s)

 

I was wondering how we got to England from Russia...1970 Spain 25 pesetas

 

If you head north or slightly east of north from Scotland and avoid Spitzbergen, there's approximately 10000km of b****r all until you hit...........Russia.
