Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing right, with a small globe positioned at the base of the neck truncation, a distinctive iconographic element denoting universal dominion. The emperor's portrait is rendered with characteristic realism — a broad, aged face with prominent features befitting the Julio-Claudian tradition of veristic portraiture. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan. The flan is irregularly shaped, as is typical of hammered aes issues struck during the turbulent Year of the Four Emperors.

Opschrift voorzijde SER GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG P M TR P
(Translation: Servius Galba Imperator Caesar Augustus, Pontifex Maximus, Tribunicia Potestas Servio Galba, supreme commander (Imperator), Caesar, emperor (Augustus), high priest, tribunician power.)
Beschrijving keerzijde A triumphal arch surmounted by two equestrian statues facing one another, the whole serving as a monumental backdrop to the scene below. Three bound captives, their hands tied behind their backs, advance rightward toward the arch in a procession symbolizing Roman conquest and subjugation. An armed officer or soldier stands behind the group, overseeing the procession. The composition is a powerful propagandistic statement referencing Galba's remission of the Quadragesima Litium, the oppressive litigation tax instituted under Caligula. The senatorial authority for this decree is indicated by the S C (Senatus Consultum) legend flanking the main inscription in the field.
