| Beschrijving voorzijde | Emperor Galba depicted in military attire, mounted on horseback and galloping to the right, his right arm extended and levelling a javelin forward in an assertive martial pose. The horse is shown in full stride, conveying energy and imperial authority. The surrounding legend reads SER GALBA IMP AVG, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The die work reflects the vigorous, sometimes irregular style characteristic of the short-lived Galban mint production during the tumultuous Year of the Four Emperors. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's mint at Lugdunum — modern Lyon — struck this piece during the chaotic opening of 68 AD, when the governor of Hispania Tarraconensis had just declared against Nero and needed coinage to pay troops whose loyalty was entirely contingent on cash. The TRES GALLIAE reverse type directly acknowledges the three Gallic provinces whose support was critical to his march on Rome; it was political currency as much as monetary.
Nero's suicide in June 68 rendered Galba's rebellion suddenly legitimate, but he survived as emperor only until January 15, 69 — murdered by the Praetorian Guard after refusing to pay the donative they had been promised.
