These seem to be a transition pattern, with the addition of the overprinted R, D, and V, and probably the numbers on the pip cards.
​
The ace of clubs has an 1890 tax stamp. They have an interesting sort of shot silk effect on the backs.
​
I like the diagonal slash dividing the mirror image figures and the line work is rather nice.
