| Reverse description | A four-line inscription reading S P Q R / O B / CIVES / SERVAT is displayed prominently within the field, enclosed by a finely rendered laurel wreath tied at the base. A small crescent or symbol appears at the top of the wreath. The wreath is composed of detailed leaves and berries arranged symmetrically around the central legend. The design is bold and uncluttered, emphasizing the honorific text as the sole decorative focus. This reverse type, referencing the award of the corona civica, was used by Galba to assert his legitimacy as a saviour of the Roman state. |
