Conclusion is the cards have been attached by a pin to documents of law cases that were ordered according to agenda (schedule) of the day. The numbers on the cards refer to the number of the law cases. (Van Diggele) Some cards have the following values: 1 at 2 sols, 2 at 3 sols and 1 at 4 sols the fifth card states ‘fordre’ of the same series. Although they cannot be considered numismatic items, I think as monetary playing cards, they are extremely interesting.
