| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in high relief with strong, naturalistic features characteristic of late Julio-Claudian and early Flavian portraiture. The emperor is depicted with close-cropped hair, a prominent nose, and jowled features consistent with his known aged appearance at the time of his reign. The legend encircles the portrait along the beaded border of the flan, reading IMP SER GALBA AVG. |
