Series
The series consists of 150 (?) different cards with the coats of arms of countries, but also German, Italian and US States.
The series has been issued with at least 4 different backs, but I don't know whether each card has been issued with each back. I do not (yet) have a single card with all 4 backs, nut several with 3 backs.
