| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate or laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in the austere portrait style characteristic of his brief reign. The emperor's effigy displays the aged, deeply lined features associated with Galba's numismatic portraiture. The encircling obverse legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The coin exhibits a heavily worn surface with a dark brown patina and irregular flan edges typical of Roman orichalcum or bronze dupondii of the Julio-Claudian to Flavian transitional period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Galba's reign lasted just seven months, from June 68 to January 69 AD, making his bronze coinage among the scarcest of the Julio-Claudian and early Flavian transition. His accession ended Nero's dynasty and opened the catastrophic Year of the Four Emperors. The PAX types were politically deliberate — Galba needed to project stability he did not actually possess, having already alienated the Praetorian Guard by refusing them the donative he had promised during his march on Rome.
RIC I 283 was struck at Rome. Galba's murder on 15 January 69 AD cut production short.
