| Reverse description | The reverse presents two facing busts in dramatic opposition: at left, the crowned effigy of King Midas of Phrygia faces right toward the bust of his daughter, who holds a golden apple. The date 2023 appears above in the upper field, with the inscription MIDAS and the monogram RF completing the legend. The design commemorates the myth of Midas, granted by Dionysus the power to turn all he touched to gold, a gift that transformed his own daughter into a golden statue before he was compelled to renounce it. Selective gilding with fine gold is applied to key design elements, evoking the mythological golden touch central to the narrative. The overall composition is rendered in high relief with refined engraving befitting a proof-quality collector issue. |
