Five of Coins is a card used in Latin-suited playing cards which include tarot decks. It is part of what tarot card readers call the "Minor Arcana". [1]
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games . [2] In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes. [2] [3]
Two beggars under poverty, one of them in crutches, walk through the snow. Behind them sits a church with a window mosaic of pentacles.
The card foretells material trouble above all, whether in the form illustrated—that is, destitution—or otherwise. For some cartomancists, it is a card of love and lovers—wife, husband, friend, mistress; also concordance, affinities. These alternatives cannot be harmonized.
Reversed: Disorder, chaos, ruin, discord, profligacy. [4]
