| Reverse description | Laureate and draped bust of the legendary King Midas facing right, distinguished by the characteristic Phrygian cap, rendered in the local provincial style. The figure is presented as the heroized founder (ktistes) of Midaeum, reflecting the city's civic pride in its mythological origins. The reverse legend ΤΟΝ ΚΤΙϹΤΑΝ ΜΙΔΑΕΩΝ encircles the bust, proclaiming Midas as the founder of the Midaeans. The flan exhibits the same irregular, rough surface as the obverse, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of Phrygia under Philip I. |
