| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in high relief with the characteristic aged and strong-featured portraiture typical of the Year of the Four Emperors coinage. The emperor is depicted bare-necked with short hair beneath the laurel wreath, conveying a stern, authoritative profile. The circumferential Latin legend runs clockwise around the effigy within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |

| Reverse description | Standing draped female figure of Livia Augusta, deified, facing left in full length, rendered in the Classical tradition. She extends her right arm forward, offering a patera, while her left hand holds a long vertical sceptre resting on the ground beside her. The figure is robed in a stola and palla, her hair arranged in a formal court coiffure. The two-word Latin legend DIVA AVGVSTA is distributed around the field within a beaded border, identifying her as the divinely consecrated empress. |
