King of Pentacles
The King of Coins symbolizes stability, faithfulness, and dependable support, embodied by Hah-nu-nah, the World Turtle. He is strong enough to carry the hopes and dreams of others, offering a slow, steady, and reliable presence rather than active involvement. Upright, the card signifies success, dependability, conservatism, strong will, and a willingness to work; reversed, it warns of corruption, materialism, ruthlessness, authority, and indulgence. The guidance is to trust steady, patient support while remaining alert to potential misuse of power or excessive materialism.

Visual Description
A large red-headed tortoise fills the foreground, its dark green shell forming a landscape from which a tree grows, roots spilling over the edges. A round golden coin medallion and a strand of beads drape across the shell, and clusters of lavender or similar flowers surround the tree. Behind the tree a bright circular moon or halo glows against a starry night sky framed by decorative borders. The card title "King of Coins" appears in elegant script at the bottom and a small artist signature is visible near the lower right.
