Eight of Coins

In the image, we see a craftsman immersed in his work, secluded from the city's noise, working on the final element of an installation made of carved coins. He has engraved a pentagram into the last coin and now examines his work while whimsically scratching his head with his hammer. The chisel rests at his feet, ready to be used whenever necessary. The frame holding the installation draws a parallel with the Hanged Man card, symbolizing blessed work in this context. As the coins together form a shape, one message of the card is to start small, build step by step, and our work will be recognized. This card symbolizes expertise, diligence, and continuous development, emphasizing the importance of persistent work.
