Spanish deck

Also called Baraja (deck/pack of cards in Spanish) is a deck of playing cards associated with Spain. It has four suits and is usually made up of 40 cards. It has a quite high resemblance to the Latin deck.

A traditional Spanish deck consists of four suits of ten numbered cards (1-7, and 10-12, with 10,11 and 12 being picture cards). Very rarely the eights and nines are added to create a 48-card deck. The four suits are bastos (clubs), oros (literally "golds", that is, golden coins), copas (cups) and espadas (swords).
