Kind Midas Learns His Lesson

The lesson of King Midas is simple: be careful of what you wish for, and now it’s been brought to life on this legal-tender 10 Euros coin struck in 22.2 grams of highly pure 99.9% fine silver. Midas was granted the power to turn everything he touches to gold by Dionysus, the god of Greek of fertility. Known as Bacchus by the Romans, Dionysus later became known as the god of wine and pleasure. After accidentally turning his daughter Marigold into a golden statue, Midas begged Dionysus to reverse the spell. You can see Marigold selectively plated in gold in the background of the coin’s design. In the foreground is a red apple that is slowly changing to gold. The coin’s reverse shows Marianne, the personification of France, taken from the famous La Semeuse (The Sower) coins designed by Louis Oscar Roty in 1897—a design showing Marianne sowing seeds that was said to have influenced Adolph A. Weinman famous “Walking Liberty” United States Half-Dollar design first struck in 1916.
