Above: naipes ‘Baccarat’ published by Akosol S.A., Paysandú 1382, Montevideo, Uruguay, printed by Ingrapa, c.1980s. 48 cards + 2 Jokers in box. The Ace of Coins features a crowned female bust inside a wreath above two cornucopias all resting on a plinth, with flags draped behind. The design of the cards is the typical version of the Spanish Catalan pattern which is used in South American countries, especially Argentina and Uruguay. For example, see Naipes 'El Gaucho' by Caraven S.A. and 'Naipe Casino' by Justo Rodero, which appears to be the inspiration for the Joker design.

I am the founder of The World of Playing Cards (est. 1996), a website dedicated to the history, artistry and cultural significance of playing cards and tarot. Over the years I have researched various areas of the subject, acquired and traded collections and contributed as a committee member of the IPCS and graphics editor of The Playing-Card journal. Having lived in Chile, England, Wales, and now Spain, these experiences have shaped my work and passion for playing cards. Amongst my achievements is producing a limited-edition replica of a 17th-century English pack using woodblocks and stencils—a labour of love. Today, the World of Playing Cards is a global collaborative project, with my son Adam serving as the technical driving force behind its development. His innovative efforts have helped shape the site into the thriving hub it is today. You are warmly invited to become a contributor and share your enthusiasm.
