| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Emperor Galba facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture typical of early Imperial Syrian coinage. An eight-pointed star appears in the right field, a distinctive element associated with this Antiochene series. The portrait exhibits the characteristic aged features of Galba, with a prominent jaw and close-cropped hair beneath the laurel wreath. The encircling Greek legend is disposed around the periphery of the flan. |
