| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a caduceus laid horizontally across two clasped right hands (dextrarum iunctio), symbolising harmony and concord, with an olive branch extending above the hands toward the upper field. The legend PAX is inscribed in bold Latin capitals in the lower portion of the field. This iconographic programme — the caduceus, olive branch, and joined hands — constitutes a powerful propaganda statement evoking peace, goodwill, and political reconciliation during the turbulent civil war period of AD 68–69. The striking is characteristic of hammered technique on an irregular flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck in the chaotic twelve months following Nero's suicide, this coin belongs to the Year of the Four Emperors — a period in which Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian each held power in rapid, violent succession. Military loyalty was effectively for sale, and the Rhine legions in particular drove events as much as any individual claimant. Coins were struck with unusual urgency across multiple mints as each contender needed metal in circulation to pay troops and signal legitimacy.
The RIC I #7 attribution places this within the Galba series. The mint output from this reign was brief — Galba was murdered by the Praetorian Guard in January 69 AD after just seven months.
