Beschrijving voorzijde Galba depicted in full military dress as an equestrian figure, galloping to the right atop a prancing horse rendered in dynamic relief. The emperor extends his right hand in a gesture of salutation or address, evoking the traditional Roman adventus or adlocutio iconography. The legend GALBA IMP is inscribed in Latin characters along the right field, identifying the emperor by name and his title of Imperator. The strike is characteristically irregular, as expected of early Hispanian issues produced under field or provisional mint conditions during the civil war of 68–69 AD. The overall style reflects the urgent, somewhat coarse engraving associated with coins struck for Galba's legions prior to his formal accession to the throne.

Opschrift voorzijde GALBA IMP
(Translation: Galba Imperator Galba, supreme commander (Imperator).)
Beschrijving keerzijde The personification of Hispania is depicted as a draped bust facing right, rendered in the allegorical tradition of Roman provincial personifications. Two javelins, emblematic of the martial character of the Iberian peninsula and its renowned warrior traditions, are shown behind the bust. Two ears of corn are placed before the bust, symbolizing the agricultural fertility and grain-producing wealth of the province. A round shield appears below and behind the bust, further underscoring the military associations of Hispania. The single-word legend HISPANIA is inscribed prominently in the field, directly identifying the province whose legions formed the backbone of Galba's bid for imperial power.
