Group of KBA Giori and SICPA Annual Cards and Mixed Documents [9 cards]
These nine presentation cards from KBA Giori, KBA NotaSys and SICPA are unusual in that none appear to have reached the auction market.

The five KBA cards span 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011, neatly covering the shift from KBA Giori to KBA NotaSys. Most carry full colour artwork described as limited prints commissioned only for receivers of this card. These prints can be seen in the images.

The four SICPA cards are equally distinctive, some illustrated and others themed around Mali, Machu Picchu, the Golden Pavilion at Kinkaku ji, and Kraków's Cloth Hall. All four SICPA cards were designed by Roger Pfund a Swiss graphic artist and are UNESCO World Heritage sites.

For the SICPA cards the 2012 edition holds a UNESCO World Heritage site in the Krakow Cloth Hall, this artwork features bursting colours to formulate a wonderful piece representing the soul of the hall itself, it holds the security features of a banknote with multiple watermarks and a signature at it's base. And on the Front of the card 3 hand signed signatures sit it can be assumed that they are from the SICPA team at the time.

2011 is unfortunately missing its artwork, yet there the information included in the card still features a poem written about the Golden Pavillion in Kyoto. 6 signatures are seen on the front of this card.
2010 also is missing the artwork and on the inside has a description of the city of Djenne in the heart of Mali. 5 signatures can be seen on the front.

2009 holds artwork and descriptions on Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders of the world, and once again holds a banknote design and watermarks. Five signatures are found in the inside of the card.
