1979 Faro Islands Bronze Medal | Jens Rosing | Anders Nyborg
This striking 1979 Faro Islands bronze medal was designed by celebrated Greenlandic artist Jens Rosing and issued by Anders Nyborg as part of the Nordic Art Medal series.
The medal showcases Rosing’s distinctive approach to Nordic and Arctic subject matter. Its finely detailed relief depicts a Faroese seabird, while the traditional Faroese inscription “FØROYAR” identifies its connection with the Faroe Islands.
At approximately 7 cm in diameter, this is a substantial bronze medallion with beautifully preserved detail and a rich, authentic appearance.
A collectible piece of Nordic art
Jens Rosing was a respected Greenlandic artist and designer whose work frequently explored the wildlife, culture and landscapes of the Nordic and Arctic regions.
This Faro Islands medal is an especially interesting example for collectors because it combines Faroese subject matter, Jens Rosing’s artwork and the Anders Nyborg Nordic Art Medal series.
The edge of the medal carries additional inscriptions, including references to Kultateollisuus Finland and Anders Nyborg, as shown in the detailed photographs.
