AncientCoinnoisseur Posted December 3, 2024 · Member Posted December 3, 2024 So, I was curious about food appearing on ancient coins. A few examples here (not mine unfortunately!) Pomegranate: Apple: Grapes: Barley: What are some other ancient coins (even if not from your collection) that have food on them? 🙂 8 1 Quote
