Issued in 1989 to commemorate the Bicentennial of the French Revolution (1789–1989), this special playing card deck was produced in France by Héron as a single commemorative edition.
While retaining the structure of a traditional French-suited deck, the court cards are entirely reimagined with double-ended, full-color portraits of key figures of the French Revolution, including Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Robespierre, Danton, Madame Roland, and Barbaroux.
The Ace of Clubs prominently features the emblem “La Loi” (The Law), reinforcing the historical and symbolic intent of the deck.
Both historically evocative and visually striking, this deck stands at the crossroads of playing cards, political memory, and graphic heritage, making it a compelling collectible for historians and card enthusiasts alike.
Deck Details

This is a true period commemorative deck, not a modern reprint. Produced exclusively for the Bicentennial celebrations, it captures how late-20th-century France chose to visually reinterpret its revolutionary past.
Decks featuring named historical figures in a standard playing card format are uncommon, making this a particularly desirable piece for collectors of political ephemera, French history, and commemorative playing cards.

A rare small deck of French playing cards bearing the official tax stamp “République Française – Décret du 12 Avril 1890”, marking it as an authentic 19th-century production.
These pocket-sized cards were created during the Belle Époque, when card games were a fashionable pastime in Parisian cafés and salons.
Each card displays the classic French design with the symbolic trefoil (clover) emblem, and the court cards depict the traditional figures Argine, Judith, and David in vibrant early-industrial color lithography.
The reverse features a refined red, blue, and white mosaic pattern, typical of late 19th-century French printing.
Comes with a blue snap-case in textured plastic — a delightful relic of the 1940s–1950s era of compact leisure accessories.
