The card features a miniature map to its upper part with a key in French below with references to counties and towns.

In this card the suitmarks have been replaced by coloured squares and a number followed by a small square follows each title. According to Sylvia Mann and David Kingsley, following comparison with other sets, this number appears to be a measurement of the area of the region depicted, 'possibly in German miles'.

Engraved playing card, with original hand-colour, with engraved place names in French in the lower part of the card.
