“Questions et réponses” card game by Daveluy, from the National Playing Card Museum in Belgium. The kings have a small crown above the suit symbol. The king of hearts has a small crowned shield with a rampant lion on his cloak, perhaps the ‘Leo Belgicus’ of the Belgian coat of arms.
Above: French “Questions et réponses” card game by Daveluy, Bruges, c.1860-85. Double-ended Belgian / Genoese pattern, 32 cards, chromolithography. Daveluy also published this as a standard pack (without Q&As). Usually the manufacturer's name appears on the ace of clubs and jack of diamonds but in this set it is missing.
