Fournier's "Castilian" pattern

Designed by Emilio Soubrier, Ignacio Díaz and Augusto Rius during the 1880s as a new definitive national pattern, these medieval fantasy designs have become ubiquitous among Spanish playing cards of the twentieth century. They are widely plagiarised and copied in Latin America.

 cuatro de oros as de oros
caballero de copas rey de bastos sota de espadas sota de copas
rey de oros cinco de espadas caballero de espadas rey de copas
