This is part of the "business logic" of your program.

As an instance of a class.  I would make a "Card" class.  Each Card
has a face-value associated with it.  "Ace" is one of those
face-values.  Simply create a constant (integer or string, it doesn't
matter since it will never be seen outside your program) to
differentiate them. =20

In the business logic, as you compute the player's total, you will
assign a numeric "score" for use in computation.

The score is not the same as the identification, so don't intermix the
two.
