The use of tarot cards arose in the middle of the 15th century in Medieval Europe. The people of France, Italy, and Austria were the most common users of tarot decks to play various card games, such as tarocchini, taro, and Konigrufen. By the 18th century, practitioners of divination and the occult began to use the cards.
Tarot card reading is purportedly used to gain insight into the past, present, and future of an individual. Generally speaking, divination is done by formulating a question and having the target individual cut the deck. The card reader will then draw cards from the deck and interpret the images and their meaning in relation to the individual.
The obverse of the 2021 1 oz Silver Niue Tarot Cards The Emperor Coins features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This depiction is the fourth-generation design from British coins and was designed by Ian Rank-Broadley in 1998.
