This is the two of clubs / batons (Bastos) from a pack of Mexican Spanish playing cards dated 1846. The distinctive back design is made up of an abstract repeating pattern. This card belongs to a baraja Espanola (Spanish deck of cards with a traditional design). The four suits are oros (gold coins), copas (cups or trophies), espadas (swords) and bastos (clubs or batons, shown here). A full deck consists of 40 cards because there are no 8s or 9s, and the first court card counts as 10 (not 11). Packs of this kind, based on the Italian card system, have been around since the 15th century. These club / baton designs are more life-like than in later representations (see example below). Clubs or batons (in Spanish (bastos)) are thought to represent the peasant class in mediaeval society. Baraja (Spanish decks) are also used like tarot cards in fortune telling / cartomancy / divination.
