Both of these are the 6 of Pentacles. I drew the one on the left late at night, before going to bed; I was tired and I think it shows. Yesterday I sat down with my references and tried it again, considering what I felt the various card descriptions were trying to say. I reused a lot of the same elements in a very different, and, I think, much stronger, image - the Leo/Saturn associations are much more slyly front-and-center, and it feels much more triumphant and celebratory.
