| Obverse description | Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing left, with a draped paludamentum visible at the shoulder, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture characteristic of the Flavian-era transition. The facial features convey the aged, stern physiognomy of the emperor, with pronounced jowls and short-cropped hair. The circumferential Latin legend IMP SER GALBA AVG TR P runs around the bust within a beaded border, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. |
