This is the king of bastos / clubs from a pack of Spanish playing cards (baraja) dated 1878, numbered twelve. It was produced in Turnhout, Belgium, by the playing card manufacturer Leonard Bierman. Belgian playing cards follow the French style of suits, with clubs, diamonds, hearts and spades. At this time, it was felt that there was a market for Spanish-style cards, with their four suits Copas (Cups / Hearts), Oros (Gold Coins / Diamonds), Bastos (Clubs) and Espadas (Swords / Spades). There are ten cards in each of the four suits, each one lacking the 8 and 9. The court / picture cards are numbered 10, 11 and 12.

This is the King of Oros (Gold Coins), equivalent to Diamonds in a common pack of playing cards) from a pack of Moroccan Spanish playing cards dated 1890.

The suit shown here is Oros (Gold Coins, or Diamonds). The full deck consists of 40 cards because there are no 8s or 9s, and the first court card counts as number 10 (not 11). Packs of this kind, based on the Italian card system, have been around since the 15th century. The pack has a distinctive back design made up of a repeating pattern of crescents and horses' heads. Some of the cards include text in Arabic, but the manufacturer is unknown. Baraja (Spanish decks) are also used like tarot cards in fortune telling / cartomancy / divination.
