and, about the progression : clubs / diamond / heart / spades, its an order which came from bridge , not about poker, true ?
The order of the suits is shared with bridge, but it does matter in poker.
In poker, suits never factor into the showdown - they do not change the ranking of the hands.
But suits do determine play order.
In stud games, the lowest card shown brings in the first bet. For this, a deuce of clubs is lower than a deuce of diamonds.
On the next round of betting, the highest showing hand leads the betting... and if two people have the same ranked hand (such as KT and KT), then high suit decides who leads (KsTd leads instead of KdTs, because spade is higher than diamond.)
Even in Hold'em, suits determine play order... for the very first round, when you draw cards for first deal! High card gets the dealer button, and rank ties are settled with the suit order.

What could i change ?
Is the mold "Roman" still possible at asm factory ?
Thanks a lot ^^
First, I think this is a beautiful start. I think the color progression is fantastic, if non-standard.
I like the 1, 2, 3, 4, spot progression - even if the 4 is a half-pie. Works beautifully, and I like the edges in stacks.
I reflexively feel the need for the "proper" suit order of clubs, diamonds, hearts, spades - but I can suppress that urge if the color contrasts are important to you, but I think a red heart on the 5 and the black spade on the 20 will work fine. (The other two suit colors remain the same.)
The one change I would make is the denominations; either bigger, or out of the art. If you make the art slightly smaller, perhaps you can offset the denom into the upper-left corner? Or perhaps you can write "Cinq Euro" and "Vingt Euro" in the same font as "Cercle Prive?" This is problematic for the club, of course...
The last thought that occurs to me is that perhaps the contrast between the black field of the inlay and the two black suits is not great enough. Would you consider making those with a red field, instead? Or white?
