| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled in the characteristic Severan style, gathered at the nape of the neck. The effigy is rendered in the provincial Greek manner typical of Lydian civic coinage of the early third century AD. The Greek legend is disposed around the bust within a dotted border. |

| Additional information |
Cadi was a small Phrygian city in the conventus of Sardis whose civic bronze issues under Septimius Severus are notable primarily for their rarity rather than their production volume. The city held limited regional prominence, and its coinage output during this reign was modest — surviving specimens are genuinely scarce, not merely underrepresented in major collections.
The spelling ΚΑΔΟΗΝΩΝ, rather than the more common ΚΑΔΟΗΝΩΝ variants, occasionally helps distinguish die groupings within the V.2 series.
