Naipes Tipo Español “Naipes y Casinos” - 40 cartas - Industria Peruana
This particular version of the Spanish Cadiz pattern has been used in Peru since before 1900 and has become a sort of Peruvian National Pattern. For many years foreign-made copies were imported, including those made in Spain for the Estanco de Naipes del Perú, until Peruvian manufacturers began to produce their own. In the example shown here, dating from c.1990, the box states: “OM Naipes y Casinos / Reg Unif. 0783420 / Industria Peruana”.
The box, and the back of the cards, features a circular motif including a zodiac.
Above: cards in the Cádiz style, copied from Spanish designs which were previously imported into Perú, c.1990s. In some editions the four of coins has the legend “Industria Peruana / Reg Ind 11821”.

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.
