| Obverse description | Bare-necked, laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in a bold and naturalistic portrait style characteristic of the Year of the Four Emperors coinage. A small globe is depicted at the base of the neck truncation, symbolising world dominion. The legend IMP GALBA runs in two parts around the periphery within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his title of Imperator. The portrait conveys the aged, austere features of Galba with pronounced jowls and a stern expression, consistent with his known iconography on silver coinage struck in Spain circa AD 68–69. |
