| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing left, rendered in a realistic, portraiture style typical of the Year of the Four Emperors. A small globe appears at the base of the neck truncation, symbolizing world dominion. The surrounding legend reads SERVIVS GALBA IMPERATOR in Latin capitals, distributed around the periphery of the field. The portrait displays the aged features characteristic of Galba's known iconography, with pronounced jowls and a short neck. The die-work reflects the urgent, somewhat provincial engraving associated with the Spanish mint active during Galba's revolt. |
