| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Salus facing right, her hair elaborately dressed and bound with a stephane or wreath adorned with multiple spherical ornaments and upright pins, with loose wavy locks falling at the nape of the neck. The facial features are rendered with fine classical elegance, with a gently incised eye and softly modelled cheekbone characteristic of the Year of the Four Emperors coinage. The legend SALVTIS arcs to the right in the field, reading downward. The design is contained within a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This aureus belongs to one of the most chaotic twelve months in Roman history — the Year of the Four Emperors. Struck under Galba, it was produced after Nero's suicide left a power vacuum that three more men would die trying to fill before Vespasian finally consolidated control in 69 AD. Galba's reign lasted just seven months before the Praetorian Guard, whom he had refused to pay the customary donative, hacked him to pieces in the Forum.
The appeal to Concordia was pointed politics, not piety — Galba needed to project stability his reign conspicuously lacked.
