| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in the naturalistic portrait style characteristic of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian imperial coinage. The emperor is depicted with pronounced facial features befitting his mature age, including a strong jaw and aged physiognomy. A beaded border frames the flan. The encircling legend reads SER GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG PON M TR P P P, distributed around the periphery of the field. |
