As others have mentioned, using edible gold and silver leaf would really work well here. I
was thinking of marzipan "coins" or even cookies with a simple icing to hold down the leaf.
The sugar, honey, and nut "nuggets" are a good idea or you can make shortbreads and slice
them into "ingots" of silver and gold.

You may even think about using sugar plate and making gold and silver platters and goblets.

Just a couple of thoughts.

Yers,
