Tin tarot / oracle cards?

Tin tarot cards?

This is something I've never seen before. They're cool, but may slice up your hands during shuffling. A tin tarot deck! For a mere $200; although they do look like antiques.

They're not tarot cards. Aren't they Gypsy Fortune Telling cards/ Sibilla-type things?

I just noticed some of them are printed mirror image. Weird. Yeah, they look more like Lenormond.
