| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in a realistic, aged portrait style typical of Julio-Claudian and Flavian-era imperial coinage. The emperor's neck and lower bust are visible, with strong facial features including a prominent jaw and aquiline nose. The laureate wreath encircles the head, and the legend runs around the periphery of the flan in Latin capital letters. The overall die work reflects the transitional artistic style of the short-lived Galbic reign. |

| Reverse description | Aequitas, the personification of equity and fair dealing, depicted draped and standing facing right, holding a pair of scales in her right hand and a long sceptre in her left hand. The figure is rendered in the classical allegorical style common to Roman imperial bronze coinage, with drapery falling in naturalistic folds. The legend AEQVITAS appears in the field, with the senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, affirming that this bronze denomination was struck under authority of the Roman Senate. |
