King of Hearts playing card from the William Tell 'Hungarian deck' of 1890 by Austrian manufacturer Piatnik, manufactured in Pest, Hungary. As well as 'Hungarian pack' and 'William Tell', this pack also has the name Four Seasons, because the Aces (they are two's, but act as Aces) represent each of the four seasons. This style of playing card is very popular in Hungary. The card symbols follow the German tradition of bells, hearts, acorns and leaves. Here is a comparison between terminology in Hungarian and in German. German 'bells' become Hungarian 'pumpkins'. Hungarian: T÷k (pumpkin); German: Schellen (bells) Hungarian: Piros (red); German: Herz (heart Rot (red) Hungarian: Makk (acorn); German: Eichel (acorn) Hungarian: Z÷ld (green); German: Laub (leaves), Gr³n (green).
