| Obverse lettering | IMP GALBA (Translation: Imperator Galba — Supreme Commander Galba.) |
| Reverse description | Standing draped figure of Livia (Diva Augusta), presented full-length facing left, holding a patera in her extended right hand and leaning with her left arm upon a long vertical sceptre. The figure is rendered in the idealized classical style befitting a deified empress, with drapery falling in elegant folds. The legend DIVA AVGVSTA arcs around the field, identifying the subject as the consecrated and deified wife of Augustus. The composition emphasizes Livia's role as a divine imperial matriarch, connecting Galba's short reign to the Julio-Claudian legacy. The field is otherwise plain. |
