| Obverse lettering | SER SVLPI GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG P M TR P (Translation: Servius Sulpicius Galba, supreme commander, Caesar, emperor, high priest, tribunician power.) |
| Reverse description | Galba, clad in military paludamentum, seated left on a curule chair (sella curulis), holding a parazonium (short military sword) in his left hand while extending his right hand in a gesture of acceptance or patronage toward a standing female figure representing Hispania. The personification of Hispania stands to the right, draped, holding the Palladium (a statuette of Minerva) in her right hand and a cornucopia in her left, symbolising the province's prosperity and her role in Galba's rise to power. The legend in the field references Clunia Sulpicia, the city in Hispania where Galba was acclaimed emperor, and the large S C (Senatus Consulto) mark in the exergual area denotes senatorial authority over the bronze coinage. |
