Baralla amb Iconografia Medieval Valenciana

Valencia is certainly proud of its history, its traditions and its fiestas but it does seem odd to depict figures in medieval costume on a pack celebrating the opening of a new metro line! The figures themselves are not named. Buff-coloured backgrounds. One unusual feature is that there are no line breaks to indicate the different suits; however, there are occasional breaks where a design spills over into the border. The only cards with any text are the Ace and 4 of Coins. The pack appears to have been sponsored by the Transport Department of the local government (Generalitat Valenciana) as their name appears on the end flaps of the box►
