| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in the Alexandrian provincial style with characteristically bold, slightly stylized portraiture. The imperial effigy displays the aged features associated with Galba, including a strong jaw and prominent brow. The Greek legend surrounds the portrait in the field, reading ΛΟΥΚ ΛΙΒ ΣΟΥΛΠ ΓΑΛΒΑ ΚΑΙΣ ΣΕΒ ΑΥΤ, giving the emperor's full titulature in Greek transliteration. The regnal year date L Α (Year 1) appears in the lower field to the right of the bust, indicating the first year of Galba's reign. |
