The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

The Via Gebensis - the route from Geneve - isn't a 'Camino' route at all. It is called a designer route, created to link Geneve with Le Puy, so you might not find any St Jacques support in Geneva.
As you are only planning on walking from Geneva to Le Puy, you could make up your own credencial to have stamped along the route.

Heike, although I sent you a PM with lots of info on the Via Gebensis the other day, I think I omitted to mention anything about the credencial.
If you are not able to get a credencial in time - I think you are leaving today - you can make one yourself to have stamped along the route. When it comes to staying in the albergues in Spain and, especially collecting stamps on the last 100km from Santiago, that is when you need an accepted credencial.
Have a wonderful walk.
