Five of Coins

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]

Five of Coins from the Rider–Waite tarot deck

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]

Description

Two beggars under poverty, one of them in crutches, walk through the snow. Behind them sits a church with a window mosaic of pentacles.

Divination usage

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]
