The association of countries which make up the UPAEP (the Postal Union of the Americas, Spain and Portugal) issues every year a stamp with a common theme devoted on this occasion to traditional games.
This issue is dedicated to the traditional Baraja espanola (Spanish deck) used in games of chance.
The stamp depicts a composition of the four suits of the Spanish classic deck, given by the Museo Fournier de Naipes in Alava.
