Persian Playing Cards

Enjoy Persian history every time you enjoy a friendly game of cards.  These durable playing cards are manufactured from plastic; they're not just plastic coated. Not only are they incredibly long-lasting, but they can also be wiped clean -  trying to get through a game with dirty or sticky cards is a thing of the past!

Every card is marked with both Latin and Persian letters and numbers, so they're ideal for playing with non-Persian friends and family. The back of each card is beautifully adorned with a golden Persian miniature design.  They are standard bridge card size (2.25" x 3.5").

Each suit commemorates one of four Persian ruling dynasties: 

Spades - Achaemenid Dynasty (550 - 330 BCE)
Hearts - Sassanid Dynasty (224 - 651)
Diamonds - Safavid Dynasty (1502 - 1737)
Clubs - Afsharid Dynasty (1737 -  1749)
The jokers are the mythological phoenix.

Select a single deck with either a blue or turquoise back, or a set of two decks (suitable for bridge) in both colors.
