Stamps, coins and currency related to figs

I came across a beautiful coin with a fig tree on it and thought I would do some more searching for postage stamps, coins and currency that might feature fig trees, fruits, etc.    I'll past a few links below that will take you to some photos.    Add others if you are aware of them since this is a topic that I have not researched thoroughly.  



  I am not sure of the details, but it does appear to be possible to have custom legitimate postage stamps made.  Here is a link to one site  that makes these special stamps.

Thanks for the information.  You are like a mad fig historian.  I use "mad" affectionately.  Keep up the good work.

I am not sure, Ingevald, but you may have cabin fever from being indoors too long this winter. I know I don't have time to hunt for such things. But it is interesting. 

If you want the Israeli coin, see Ebay

I seem to remember fig trees on some older coins from somewhere in the Middle East.


We have not had much of a winter here in the middle of the USA but cabin fever could be a possibility.   I am definitely looking forward to new growing season possibilities.  Winter is when I make some time for some fig related research and sometimes come up with some interesting and odd things that are not quite related to cultivation.
