| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate bust of Galba facing right, depicted with characteristic aged and heavy-jowled features rendered in high relief, the neck truncated cleanly at the base. The portrait is executed in a vigorous, realistic style consistent with Julio-Claudian and early Flavian portraiture traditions. The legend is arranged around the periphery of the flan, separated from the bust by an inner beaded border that follows the coin's irregular circumference. The overall die work reflects the restorer's intent to evoke the original Galban aureus type faithfully. |
