| Obverse lettering | GALBA IMP (Translation: Galba Imperator — Galba, supreme commander.) |
| Reverse description | The personification of Roma depicted in full military attire, helmeted and advancing to the right with purposeful stride. In her extended right hand she holds a small Victory standing on a globe, symbolizing the promise of renewed Roman triumph, while her left hand grasps a long spear held diagonally across the field. The figure is rendered with dynamic energy, her drapery suggesting forward movement. The reverse legend encircling the design proclaims the ideological message of Galba's nascent reign — the rebirth of Rome after the turmoil of Nero's fall. |
