king of clubs

Highest trefoil card

The king of clubs is one of the face cards in a standard deck of playing cards, depicting a crowned male figure associated with the club suit.

In most traditional deck designs, this king is shown in profile holding an orb or sword, and he is sometimes called the "Alexander card" after Alexander the Great, though this association is more decorative than functional.

Like other kings, it typically ranks just below the ace in games where aces are high.
