| Obverse lettering | SER GALBA IMP AVGVSTVS (Translation: Servius Galba Imperator Augustus Servio Galba, supreme commander (Imperator) and emperor (Augustus).) |
| Reverse description | A triumphal arch surmounted by two equestrian statues facing each other, referencing Augustan or Julio-Claudian monuments. Advancing rightward toward the arch are three captives with their hands bound, accompanied by a military officer standing behind them. The design commemorates Galba's formal remission of the Quadragesima Litium, the one-fortieth litigation tax imposed by Caligula. The senatorial authority is indicated by the S C (Senatus Consultum) legend in the field. The composition is typical of the reverses struck under Galba's Rome mint issues of AD 68–69. |
