A Tarot de Besançon printed by Lequart in Paris in 1890, an adapted reissue of the tarot Arnoult published in 1748 — the Two of Coins still reads "Arnoult 1748". The Besançon pattern replaces the Popess and the Pope with Juno and Jupiter at II and V, and keeps the Marseille order, where Justice is VIII and Strength is XI — the reverse of Rider-Waite-Smith.
