| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered with strong portraiture characteristic of the Julio-Claudian–Flavian transitional period, showing aged facial features with prominent nose and short beard. The effigy is depicted bare-necked, with the laurel wreath sitting atop closely cropped hair. The encircling legend reads IMP SER GALBA CAES AVG TR P, distributed around the portrait in bold, well-spaced Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | The personification of Concordia, draped, seated left upon a high-backed throne, holding an olive branch extended in her right hand and a long vertical sceptre in her left hand, symbolising imperial harmony and senatorial accord. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical style typical of Neronian and early Flavian bronze coinage. The field carries the legend CONCORD AVG above, with the senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consulto) prominently placed in the lower field on either side of the figure. |
