| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing right, depicted with characteristic aged features including a strong jawline and prominent chin, the portrait rendered in high relief typical of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian aurei. The laurel wreath is rendered in fine detail, resting across the brow and tied at the nape. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads IMP SER GALBA CAESAR AVG P M, distributed evenly around the periphery of the coin. The workmanship reflects the transitional artistic style of the brief Galbine reign, combining Republican gravitas with early Imperial portraiture conventions. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's reign lasted just seven months, from June 68 to January 69 AD, ending when the Praetorian Guard murdered him in the Forum and kicked his severed head through the streets. The VICTORIA P R ("Victory of the Roman People") type was struck at what is generally identified as the Tarraco or Narbo mint during his march on Rome — propaganda issued before he had even secured the throne, advertising a victory over Nero that was still, technically, in progress.
RIC I 233 is scarce by any measure, a product of a mint operating under field conditions for a claimant whose entire coinage spans less than a year.
