| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Claudius facing right, with finely rendered hair beneath the laurel wreath and naturalistic portraiture typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The bust is bare-necked and depicted in profile. The Greek legend KΛΑΥΔΙΟC KΑΙCAP encircles the portrait, reading partially on the left and right fields around the effigy. |

| Additional information |
Cadi was a minor Phrygian city whose civic bronze issues under Claudius were administered by local magistrates — here, Artemas son of Demetrios, whose name appears in the ethnic legend alongside the city's own. The practice of naming the sitting magistrate on provincial bronze was common across western Asia Minor, but Cadi's output under Claudius is sparse enough that Copenhagen's specimen and the RPC concordance remain the primary reference points for attribution.
