The coin is dedicated to the image of King Midas, a figure from ancient Greek mythology whose name has become a symbol of immense wealth. According to legend, Midas received an extraordinary gift from Dionysus: everything he touched turned to gold. At first, this ability seemed like a blessing, but it soon became a source of great hardship, showing that an excessive desire for wealth can lead to misfortune. For centuries, this story has served as a reminder of moderation, responsibility, and the true value of things. Struck in .9999 gold, the coin has a face value of 100 tenge and weighs 1.24 g. Its theme combines an ancient legend with the numismatic tradition of depicting well-known mythological figures.
