Gold-fancying king (5)

I believe the answer is:

midas

(Other definitions for midas that I've seen before include "King who turned what he touched to gold" , "His touch made gold" , "Golden-touch king" , "Phrygian king" , "Legendary king whose touch turned things to gold" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
