| Obverse description | Bare-headed and laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in bold relief with finely detailed hair bound by a laurel wreath. A small globe appears at the point of the neck, symbolising universal dominion. The portrait displays the characteristic aged physiognomy of Galba, with pronounced facial features consistent with the veristic tradition of late Republican and early Imperial portraiture. The surrounding field carries the imperial legend in incuse Latin lettering. |
