Queen of Coins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Queen of Coins is a Minor Arcana tarot card.
Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play Tarot card games[1].
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes[1][2].

[edit] Divination Usage
"Sensual and earthy, she enjoys abundance in many areas of her life. A lover of luxury, she is quick to share her wealth" (Hanson-Roberts 2002).
Like all court cards, the Queen of Coins, also called the Pentacles, will often refer to a person playing some role in the life of the questioner. Queens represent mother figures and adult women, or young women mature for their years; women of knowledge and wisdom. The physical characteristics of the suit of coins include dark hair and eyes, dark complexions and sturdy build.
When reversed, "This Queen neglects her responsibilities, keeping up appearances regardless of circumstances" (Hanson-Roberts 2002).
