| Obverse description | Bare-headed laureate bust of Galba facing right, depicted with aged, realistic portraiture characteristic of Flavian-era numismatic art. The emperor is shown with a strong, wrinkled profile and draped paludamentum at the shoulder. The encircling legend reads SER SVLPI GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG P M TR P, distributed around the full circumference of the flan. The field surrounding the portrait shows the typical flat-struck surface of hammered Roman imperial bronze coinage. The overall style reflects the short-lived but distinctive portraiture associated with Galba's reign. |
