I think we're talking about different things here. The "Spanish"
traditional suit signs of sword, cup, coin, and club (as in the
kind you hit someone over the head with) are nothing like the
"French suits" (found the world over, alongside the local
patterns), although they do share a common ancestry.

Jokers have different signs in different decks.
