Piatnik -- Nr. 1949
French Tarot deck -- 78 cards

This Tarot deck is made by Ferd. Piatnik & Söhne, the leading Austrian manufacturer, from Vienna. The deck consists of 22 major arcana cards, and 56 suited cards; totaling 78 cards. The suited cards consist of 16 court cards: king (roi), queen (dame), knight (chevalier), jack (valet); and 40 pip cards.

It should be noted that there are no aces. The 1-pip cards are called ones. Furthermore, the one-of-hearts does not bare the usual Piatnik logo, instead it has the blue generic-looking logo. The blue logo on that card originates from old times when Piatnik produced these cards for a special customer in France.
