This card has the pale blue background in common with all cards in the Batons suit. At the top of the card are five crossed batons, in the same pattern one would find on a Marseille style card. The batons are surrounded by stars and a red diamond sits behind them. Below the batons we see ten Imperial crowns all slightly different but with jewels and gold.
Huson's keyword for this card is 'gold' and the crowns symbolise great wealth or luxury. Etteilla also listed abundance and good fortune as possible interpretations for this card.
What I do really like about this card, as with all the number cards of the Batons suit, is that the batons follow the same pattern as the Marseille cards. This card does have the 'feel' of success about it, it's bright and it does seem opulant and even glitzy. Whether wealth and luxury necessarily lead to happiness and joy is another matter. But I do like this card, it certainly feels very positive to me.
