| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered with characteristic aged features and strongly modelled physiognomy typical of Julio-Claudian portraiture. The effigy is set within a beaded border encircling the entire flan. The surrounding legend reads IMP SER GALBA CAESAR AVG P M, distributed around the portrait in capital Latin letters. The die-cutting displays the vigorous, high-relief style associated with the Gallic mint workshops active during Galba's brief reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's Gallic aurei were struck in the field — almost certainly at a mobile mint traveling with his forces — during the months between his declaration against Nero in April 68 and his entry into Rome that autumn. The mint is conventionally attributed to Gaul, though some scholars have argued for a Spanish origin; RIC I 227 sits in a group where the attribution remains genuinely contested.
Galba's reign lasted seven months before the Praetorian Guard sold their loyalty to Otho for a cash donative Galba had refused to pay.
