Knight of Pentacles
The Knight of Coins portrays a lethargic figure whose inaction leaves urgent needs unmet, symbolized by a sleeping dragon and a city in flames. The image suggests that only an external, material incentive will rouse this knight, pointing to motivation by reward or bribery. Upright, the card warns of slowness, routine stagnation, and failure to recognize emergencies or act promptly. Reversed, it emphasizes irresponsibility, unreliability, and an unwillingness to take things seriously.

Visual Description
A bulky armored knight in a rounded, riveted suit sits on top of a red dragon, mid-yawn and rubbing his eye. The dragon lies subdued beneath him with the knight's boot resting on its head. In the background a walled town and castle smolder with visible flames, stars scatter across the sky, and a large gold coin bearing a helmeted profile dangles above the scene.
