Description

For the 200th anniversary, Austrian Post is issuing very special commemorative miniature sheets. The four different stamp variants each show the Ace value in the four suits of Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs, with the actual gummed stamp, having a nominal value of 450 cents, being die-cut and removable from the playing card. The miniature sheets, with their classic Piatnik design, not only look like playing cards but can also be used as such, since each sheet is part of a set with the four additional playing cards of the respective suit, namely King, Queen, Jack, and 10. A removable vignette, designed like the commemorative stamp but not valid for postage, is integrated into these supplementary playing cards. The sets in all four suits make up a complete deck of twenty playing cards for the "Schnapsen" game, in which, as mentioned, each Ace is a commemorative stamp.
