The Queen of Coins shows a portly queen hoarding a succulent meal while hungry cats beg, symbolizing prosperity guarded jealously. Upright she represents a frugal female figure of high social status, abundant wealth, opulence, luxury, and love expressed through discipline. Reversed she becomes a symbol of cruelty, greed, refusal to help those in need, and shallow materialism. The card warns against hoarding resources and urges awareness of how security and status can harden generosity.

Visual Description

An elaborately dressed queen sits holding a large gold coin aloft in one gloved hand while clutching a roasted leg in the other. She wears a hooded crown, beaded necklace, and a patterned blue and grey gown; a lit candle and a wooden table with plates stand beside her. Two small skeletal, cat-like creatures rear and reach toward her from the purple-floored foreground. A red curtain frames the left side and the card title 'QUEEN OF COINS' appears at the bottom.
