One of a pack of Spanish playing cards, known as the Baraja Espanõla (Spanish Deck), with four suits: i. clubs, represented by sprouting cudgels. ii. coins, represented by a six- pointed star inside a spiked circle. iii. cups. iv. swords. This card is the Five of Swords. An inscription on the top half of the card reads 'HIJOS DE HERACLIO FOURNIER VITORIA'. There is a roundel printed in red on the bottom half of the card featuring a crest and crown, with the inscription 'TIMBRE DEL ESTADO' underneath.
There are two extra cards in the pack, bearing the maker's name, 'Naipes Heraclio Fournier', and place of manufacture ('Vitoria Espana'), and a picture of the factory. The maker's name is also found on some of the aces. The reverse of each card bears a complicated line design in blue.
