| Obverse description | Bare head of Galba facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed physiognomy characteristic of Julio-Claudian portrait traditions. The emperor is depicted with closely cropped hair and a strong, aged profile. The encircling legend reads GALBA IMP, distributed across the field to either side of the portrait. A beaded border frames the design along the coin's periphery. The portrait style reflects the veristic Roman tradition, emphasizing Galba's advanced age and austere dignity. |
