Advertising card issued by Pharmacie Centrale, a community pharmacy located in Paris. The card obverse side shows circus dwarfs playing with coins. The coins are Ceres-type coins struck during the 3rd Republic, i.e. between 1871 and 1895. It is likely that the cards were printed during this period. The card reverse side lists several drugs with their price.
