Description:

This collectible set features two exquisitely designed bank cards issued to commemorate the centennial of Denmark’s National Olympic Committee (NOC) and Denmark’s participation in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. Both cards prominently display the Danish Olympic logo at the center—a simple yet striking red Danish flag cross beneath the iconic five interlocking Olympic rings, symbolizing global unity through sport. The background art is vibrant and dynamic, featuring abstract swirls and splashes of green, black, and orange tones that create a lively contrast against the bright emblem. Each card is equipped with a functional gold chip on the left side, highlighting their dual purpose as both collectible items and usable prepaid cash cards.

One card, denominated in Danish kroner at KR 10, subtly features the branding of "Danmont," an entity involved in issuing such smart cards in Denmark, along with the code "UDL08 11.97" printed near the chip. The other VISA Cash card is valued in US dollars, displaying “US$2” in the upper right corner and the colorful VISA Cash logo in the lower right, indicating its connection to Visa’s prepaid cash service. Additionally, this card features the Atlanta 1996 Olympics logo and the VISA brand, clearly linking it to Olympic sponsorship. Both cards credit artist Lina Murel Jardorf for their design and are limited to a total of 2,000 sets, enhancing their collector’s appeal.

The reverse sides of the cards provide detailed contextual information. Each states that the set was gifted by Danmont and Wachovia Bank, respectively, and issued for use in Denmark and the U.S. They emphasize the celebration of the Olympic centennial and Denmark’s Olympic involvement. Logos and trademarks, including the Coca-Cola Olympic partnership branding, appear here, along with disclaimers regarding the expiration of stored value and the non-refundable nature of the cards. Contact details for the Danish Olympic Committee are included for those seeking further information or assistance. These inscriptions reinforce the official and commemorative nature of the set, highlighting sponsorships from Coca-Cola, Visa, and the Danish Olympic Committee.

Finally, the cards are elegantly presented in a folder, which repeats the explanatory text about the set’s creation to honor the Danish Olympic Committee’s milestone and participation in the Atlanta ’96 Games. The folder also highlights the involved partners, including Danmont, Coca-Cola, and Jardex—an organization recognized as a uniform supplier for the Olympic Games. Overall, the presentation is thoughtfully executed, showcasing the collectible cards while serving as a meaningful historical keepsake that reflects corporate sponsorship and artistic tribute. This Olympic set is a distinguished memento for collectors and enthusiasts of Olympic memorabilia alike.
