These cards look as though they were made in 1801 by the Real Fabrica de Madrid, as that is what the One of Coins says.

But it is very probable that the cards were produced in the second half of the 19th century, when this company had long ceased to produce cards. Most probably the cards were made in Belgium or Germany. The initials 'R. H.' on the Four of Coins might be an indication of the maker, but I did not find an explanation until now.

The pack has 48 cards. In the top row on the right the back is shown.
