Lepidoptery was also the theme of the final, additional house note award – this time for a series, which was made to Oberthur Fiduciaire for ‘The Art of Butterflies’.

The theme was chosen as it symbolises the spirit of Jean-Pierre Savare, who took over the company 40 years ago and transformed it into the successful group it is today. The butterflies represented are five species from the famous collection of François-Charles Oberthur that can be seen in the British Museum in London.

The five notes were printed in one sheet with five different designs and five different security threads, among them Anima, Pulsar and Relief, to produce a highly attractive and technically sophisticated set.
