| Obverse description | Draped bust of the legendary Phrygian king Midas facing right, wearing the distinctive pointed Phrygian cap, rendered in the provincial style typical of Pisidian civic coinage under Gallienus. The portrait is set within a circular Greek legend in the field. The die work, though somewhat roughly executed, conveys the heroic character of the mythological effigy central to Prymnessus civic identity. |
