All the regions are named and there are two figures on each of the Aces and Jokers. The numeral cards are plain. Indices: R, D, V, 1. Text in French and Portuguese on the extra card. Promotional item offered to customers of Banco Pinto & Sotto Mayor in France. The bank’s branches in France are listed on the reverse of the box and extra card. See the box
