| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered with characteristic aged features including a prominent nose and strong jawline. The effigy displays paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with the laureate wreath clearly visible atop the head. The encircling Latin legend reads SER GALBA IMP CAES AVG, distributed around the bust within the coin's border of dots. The portrait style is consistent with the short-lived Galbic coinage struck at Rome in AD 68–69, reflecting a naturalistic and dignified imperial representation. |
