Disney Princess
Featuring Disney Princesses and Enchanting Tales in two sizes of pack made for Eastern Europe.
Under the terms of the licensing agreement, both the small and large-sized packs were made by Piatnik specifically for the Hungarian and Czech markets.
Disney Princess - normal size
Each suit corresponds to a different Disney Princess: Snow White (H), Cinderella (C), Ariel (D), Belle (S). Every card is illustrated (with repetition on the 3 and 8 of Clubs). The background colour is a strong pink on the court cards and Aces and a pale pink on the numeral cards. The indices appear only once on each card. See the box►



Above: Disney Princess (small or normal size) made by Piatnik, Vienna, Austria, for Piatnik Budapest and Piatnik Praha, c2009. 52 cards + 1 Joker + 2 extra cards (one of which can be used as an extra Joker) with text in Hungarian and Czech, in tuck box. Piatnik No. 159114. Size: 58.5 x 88.5 mm. © Disney
Disney Princess - large size
The Disney Princesses featured include Snow White and Ariel; the others are less easy to distinguish since, in this pack, they are all wearing golden dresses. The 13 different images are repeated on the same card in each suit, with a fourteenth on the Joker. The background colour is a strong pink so the indices and pips on the red suits do not stand out well. The pack is subtitled “Enchanted Tales”. See the box►


Above: Disney Princess (large) made by Piatnik, Vienna, Austria, for Piatnik Budapest and Piatnik Praha, c2009. 52 cards + 2 (identical) Jokers + 2 extra (double-sided) cards with text in Hungarian, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Bosnian/Croatian and Serbian, in drop-lid box. Piatnik No. 158636. Size: 89 x 119 mm. © Disney
• NOTE: I have stock available of both sizes.
