[[File:Blood_Orange_2.jpg|thumb|Seiris jeruk merah. Seorang sejarawan seni rupa menduga bahwa buah jeruk merahlah yang digambarkan sebagai bola-bola merah pada berbagai lambang kebesaran wangsa Medici]]
Menurut teori lain yang juga tidak dapat dibuktikan kebenarannya, gambar bola-bola pada lambang kebesaran keluarga Medici adalah lambang keping-keping uang logam yang ditiru dari lambang kebesaran serikat usaha penukaran uang (Arte del Cambio), yang salah satu anggotanya adalah keluarga Medici
Dalam kosakata bahasa Italia, "medici" berarti "para tabib".<!-- and identifications with the family members as physicians may be found among their names as early as the eleventh century. Fanciful stories depict the images as pills or cupping glasses, a late-medieval medical instrument used to draw blood. Pills did not exist until much latter and bloodletting was not in vogue at the time of the first Medici coat of arms. Art historian Rocky Ruggiero suggests plausibly however, that the images may represent whole ripe [[blood oranges]] that typically are grown in Italy. Although knowledge of vitamins did not exist at the time, the benefit of oranges for certain diseases was recognized and their association with recommendations by medical doctors suggests to Dr. Ruggiero that this likely is the imagery intended in the coats of arms for the Medici family.<ref>Ruggiero, Rocky, Ph.D., ''[https://rockyruggiero.com/episode-93-florence-the-medici-dynasty/ Rebuilding The Renaissance, Episode 93 – Florence: The Medici Dynasty]'', Making Art and History Come to Life, October 28, 2020, an audio file</ref>-->
