2766) "Justice", Tarot Cards, Niue Island: The Twelfth $2 (Two Dollars) Coin Card released by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Niue Island: Year of Coin issue: 2023:
For some of us, the thought of Tarot cards inspires visions of a mysterious fortune teller dealing out cards while a foreboding and ominous silence cloaks the colourfully dressed woman in darkness as she discerns the querent's future from what the cards have to say.
For several others, Tarot cards are used for conventional games where the cards are used without any danger of occult implications.
No matter what one thinks of Tarot cards, this Card is an absolute beauty replete with symbolism.
"Justice" Tarot Card presents an image replete with Symbolism:
Tarot decks first appeared in Italy in the 1430s, and unlike regular card decks that number 52 cards consisting of four suits; Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, and Hearts; Tarot card decks have a five suit, - Swords (representing the Air Element), "Wands" (representing the Fire element), "Cups" (representing the Water Element), "Pentacles" (Representing the Coins or the material/ground element). There is also the "Major Arcana" (Major Secrets), of 21 specially illustrated cards called “Triumphs” and an odd card called “The Fool.” (The Major Arcana represents the Fool's journey in Life).
"Justice" is the Eleventh card in the Major Arcana.
"Justice" is the overall twelfth release in the New Zealand Mint's exciting new Tarot Cards Coin Collection on behalf of the Niue Islands, struck in 1oz pure silver. The Card showcases striking artwork of "Justice" with vibrant colourisation and detailed engravings.
It is superbly crafted into a rectangular coin, shaped to reflect a Tarot card.
"Justice" Tarot Card:
"Justice" is a positive card for those who have acted with kindness and fairness towards others.
It is a significant indicator of a positive resolution, although how and what sort will depend on one's experiences. If one has been immoral in his/her dealings, this card warns the querent to change his/her ways before retribution falls upon him/her.
In neutral cases, it suggests that one should seek balance in one's life.
