Vintage Bronze Faro Medallion | 1979 Anders Nyborg Finland in solid bronze—a bold, highly collectible medallion designed by the celebrated Greenlandic artist Jens Rosing. It comes in its original presentation box, which features a satin-lined lid and a velvet display base. The inner lid clearly states: “FÆRØ MEDAILJEN 1979 – JENS ROSING.”

The front of the medal shows a beautifully rendered Faroese seabird in relief, along with the traditional Faroese inscription “FØROYAR.” The craftsmanship displays the naturalistic style Rosing is known for.
