In this card a man is shovelling earth into a pit containing four coins. Behind him is a lake, or the ocean, and a tree. He is dressed in primitive clothing.
In the book, Place says that this card is heavily grounded because of the number four and also Coins being a physical suit. It could indicate that there is too much focus on the material aspects of life.
I think also that it can show that by focusing so much on material wealth, or accumulation of wealth, you can miss out on other wonderful things in life, such as the lush scenery in the background. Also the tree in the background could symbolise that there will always be enough for you and there is no need to worry. He is working so hard to conserve his wealth that he has no time to spend it, not even time to buy new clothes
