Fact:

The faces of Kings in a playing deck are designated as
King David for spades ♠️,
King Alexander for hearts♥️,
King Charlemagne for diamonds♦️ and
King Augustus for clubs ♣️

The King of Hearts is named “The Suicide King” as the sword is seen as being used to stab himself in the head.
The Queens are Queen Pallas♠️,
Queen Judith♥️,
Queen Rachel♦️ and Queen Argine ♣️
 

How many Kings and Queens can you spot? 
How many Joker(s) can you find? 
Do you realise that different Queens smile differently?
