The original design for Lyonnais cards was changed in 1711, and the Knave of Spades for the Lyon pattern was given a pipe to smoke. And in 1751, the King of Clubs was then given an Orb, while the Queens of Hearts and Spades lost their sceptres and now all four Queens carried flowers. The Knave of Clubs club was replaced with a lance and on his right arm now has a shield.
