A set of complete Georgian playing cards by Hunt & Sons, London. This highly collectable set comes with all 52 cards. The set has a rare ‘old frizzle’ ace of spades duty card. To prevent forgery, the government reduced the tax to 1 shilling and introduced an elaborate, highly detailed “Duty Ace”. It featured heavy foliage, a lion, and a unicorn, and resembled the security design of a banknote. The set is in excellent condition for its age.
