    Weiss, you have a long history of making interesting pictures, and this is no exception, well done!
    I note that you have done a great job of pairing the design of each large silver coin and smaller gold coin.

    Thank you! I was thinking about the contrast between the dark, dark French piece and the ducat pictured there, and realized I had examples of large older silver and corresponding smaller gold pieces from several regions if not precise countries. When paired together, they looked appetizing to the eye and I thought that was a fun play on the word. Honestly the execution doesn't look as fun and enticing as I'd hoped. But I wanted to run with the imagery while I had all the pieces together.

    Coq au vin, perhaps? (A bowl of gold rooster coins -- French, Chinese, Hong Kong, Laos, ... -- with a glass of wine. Picture left as a Photoshop exercise to the reader.)

    Food that rich may trigger the gout for some people. ;)

    I prefer grapes with my brie and crackers but everything else is looking just perfect. :)

    A nice Cabernet Sauvignon - Opus One perhaps... would go nicely with both the hors d'ouvres and the coins.... Cheers, RickO
