[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1816389, member: 56859"]Rather than continuing to add to the thread where they were initially posted, I'm starting a new thread and will put all such labels here as they are found. Not just ancients-- any and all coins on wine labels. After seeing a Phliasia coin on a Greek wine label, I thought I'd try to collect all ancient coins found on wine labels, paired with the actual bottle of wine. That turned out to be a [I]bit[/I] unrealistic for my budget :(. I'll probably just try for a few. Anyway, I'm going to put all such wines here in case anyone else is interested. If you happen to have one of these coins, wouldn't it be fun to buy the matching bottle of wine?? Please add any of your wine finds to this thread. Here's a Sardinian wine featuring a Carthage (?) stater. Found this while quickly looking at every single wine label in a local store yesterday. Interesting that they would choose a coin not minted on Sardinia. There is one gold drachm with Tanit which was minted on Sardinia-- maybe it's that one? Doesn't quite match the picture I've found though. [ATTACH=full]297487[/ATTACH] A coin of Phliasia on this Greek wine. Haven't found the exact coin yet.
