| Reverse description | A tetrastyle temple depicted in perspectival elevation, its four columns framing a cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus (Artemis Ephesia) standing frontally within the cella. The goddess is shown in the characteristic xoanon posture with multiple supports at her sides and flanked by two stags, her sacred animals. The architectural rendering includes a prominent pediment above the colonnade. The civic legend of Cadi, naming the magistrate responsible for the issue, is distributed in the field around the temple. |

| Additional information |
Cadi was a small Phrygian city whose coins frequently name local magistrates — here Aurelius Charidemos Gaianos, serving his first term as archon but issuing under the designation ΤΟ Β, indicating a second civic emission under that magistracy. This administrative granularity is characteristic of the Sardis conventus, where civic pride and local bureaucratic precision left unusually detailed epigraphic records on bronze coinage. Trebonianus Gallus reigned only until 253, cut short when his own troops defected to Aemilianus.
