Four of Coins

On the Four of Coins, a robust merchant clad in ornate attire is seen almost engulfed by gold coins. Even atop his crown, a coin is balanced. The amassed gold coins beneath his throne restrict his freedom of movement. The merchant's posture and facial expression may suggest greed and excessive attachment to acquired wealth. In this card, wealth and stability intertwine with the retention of riches, as well as with stinginess and excessive caution. The grey cityscape in the background appears alien and menacing, hinting at isolation.
