| Obverse description | Bare head of the emperor Tiberius facing left, rendered in a restrained classical style typical of early Imperial provincial coinage. The portrait displays a clean-shaven, mature effigy with close-cropped hair, set on a plain truncation. The Greek legend ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ runs along the right field, partially visible beside the bust. |

| Additional information |
The Koinon of Galatia — the provincial assembly of Roman Galatia — issued bronze coinage in its own name as an expression of collective civic identity, a privilege extended by Rome to loyal provincial leagues. The magistrate name ΠΡΕΙΣΚΟΣ (Priscus) appears here as the presiding authority, though his precise role within the Koinon's administrative hierarchy remains unresolved in the literature. The ΓΜ in field is conventionally read as a control mark or denomination indicator, its exact meaning still debated among specialists working this series.
