Galba, 68-69. Denarius (Silver, 18 mm, 3.33 g, 7 h), Rome, circa July 68 - January 69. IMP SER GALBA AVG Bare head of Galba to right. Rev. SPQR / OB / C S within oak wreath. BMC 34 (there incorrectly termed laureate). BN 76. Cohen -. RIC 167. Rare. Beautifully toned and with a powerful portrait. Extremely fine.

From a Swiss collection, acquired from LHS in 2008, and previously from an old Swiss collection.

The silver coinage of Galba is notorious for its relatively poor preservation; most examples known are in the ‘very fine’ range. This piece is unusually nice.
