| Reverse description | A draped female figure, identified as a personification likely representing Hispania or a related virtue, stands facing left in a composed contrapposto stance. In her extended right hand she holds a branch, symbolizing peace or victory, while her left arm rests upon a large round shield set to her side. The figure is rendered in the classicizing style common to Julio-Claudian and early Flavian imperial coinage, with flowing drapery rendered in fine detail. The abbreviated legend AVG IMP is displayed in the field, denoting Galba's imperial titles of Augustus and Imperator. The entire design is set within a plain, irregularly shaped flan consistent with hammered gold coinage of the period. |
