Four of Pentacles
The Four of Coins depicts a wealthy miser fixated on four rare coins, so absorbed in possession that he fails to notice the specter of death in the doorway. Upright, it signals clinging to possessions, a scarcity mindset, hoarding, guarding wealth, and an aversion to financial risk that emphasizes savings and stinginess. Reversed, it warns of free or reckless spending, loss of money, and financial illiteracy leading to instability. The card urges awareness of how fear and attachment to material security can blind one to larger risks and to seek balance between prudent saving and openness to healthy financial flow.

Visual Description
A pale, hooked-nosed figure in a ruffled collar sits at a table with hands clasped together above four large gold coins arranged in front of them. The coins show a classical-profile face and rest on a patterned cloth while the figure leans forward with a tight, conspiratorial smile and one eye nearly closed. Behind the seated person, a dark hooded, skeletal shape stands in the shadowed doorway beneath an arch. A single lit candle is mounted on the stone wall to the right and the Roman numeral IV appears above the scene, with the caption 'FOUR OF COINS' along the bottom border.
