I don't know of any examples from Switzerland and the earliest known manufacturer is from Rouen, France, which is considered the prototype of the Belgian examples. "Cartes de Suisses" is a very ambiguous name that can refer to any cards originating from Switzerland. It could also refer to non-Swiss cards that are inspired by Switzerland like the William Tell cards. It is likely that the Belgian wrapping called them "Cartes de Suisses" because it is used to play a Swiss form of tarot that necessitated labeling the Fool as XXII. In short, it is the rules, not the cards, that migrated from Switzerland to Rouen and Flanders.--Countakeshi (talk) 13:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
