Obverse description Bare-headed, laureate bust of Emperor Galba facing left, rendered with the characteristic aged and heavyset physiognomy associated with this emperor. The effigy is depicted with a draped shoulder visible at the truncation, and the laurel wreath is clearly delineated across the brow. The surrounding legend runs clockwise in incuse Latin capitals along the periphery of the flan. The portrait style reflects the brief but artistically distinctive coinage of Galba's reign, combining realism with imperial gravitas.
