number card

Non-face playing card

A number card is a playing card that shows a numerical value rather than a face—the cards numbered two through ten in a standard deck.

In blackjack and other games, number cards are worth their face value, distinguishing them from face cards and aces which have special rules: I was hoping for a number card but drew a king.
