Cardsmiths Currency has brought us some of the most beautiful variants. Generally, there are two types of variants: unnumbered, and limited-print run numbered. The latter have etched serialised numbers on each card, making your possession truly unique.
With each new set Cardsmiths introduces additional types of variants. Here we summarise what has been released so far.
