king of spades

Highest black royal

The king of spades is one of four kings in a standard deck of playing cards, bearing the spade suit symbol.

In many decks, the king of spades depicts a figure holding a sword, sometimes called the "suicide king" due to the sword's position appearing to pierce his head—though that nickname more properly belongs to the king of hearts.
