| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Galba facing right, rendered with individualistic portraiture characteristic of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian transitional period, displaying pronounced aging features including a strongly lined brow and prominent jaw. The bust is draped and cuirassed, with a spear tip visible behind the right shoulder. The encircling legend SER GALBA IMP runs along the periphery in crisp Latin capitals. The engraving style reflects the workshop traditions of the Spanish or early Roman mint of the Year of the Four Emperors. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hand-struck Republican-era denarii produced under urgent military circumstances. |

| Opschrift voorzijde | SER GALBA IMP (Translation: Servius Galba Imperator Servio Galba, supreme commander (Imperator).) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | A mounted horseman, representing the personification of Gallia (Gaul), gallops to the right across the field, rendered in dynamic relief with the rider's cloak billowing behind. The figure is depicted in military attire, evoking the Gallic cavalry that played a crucial role in Galba's rise to power during the revolt against Nero. The reverse type served as a direct political reference to Galba's Gallic allies, particularly the legions under C. Julius Vindex. The single-word legend GALLIA appears in the exergue or lower field, identifying the personification. The composition is bold and vigorous, consistent with the propagandistic denarii struck during the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors. |
