Obverse description	Laureate and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus to right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The emperor's characteristic curly beard and laurel wreath are rendered in typical provincial style. The Greek imperial legend surrounds the bust within a beaded border. The die-cutting reflects the local workshop tradition of the Conventus of Sardis.

Reverse description	Cybele, the Mother of the Gods, enthroned to left, wearing a turreted crown, holding a patera in her right hand and resting her left arm upon a tympanum. A lion, her sacred companion, is seated at her feet to the left. The composition is characteristic of Phrygian civic coinage honouring the principal local deity. The ethnic legend of the Cadians encircles the reverse field within a beaded border.
