    Last week I bought this Galba As to replace a Galba Sestertius in my 12 caesar bronze set. It was too large imho between the other Asses and Dupondii.
    Now the set is more uniform in size.

    In time I also want an upgrade for the Otho from fine to very fine.

    Please show us your Galba As/Dupondius

    Galba bronze in any condition is nice to have. That’s a nice upgrade.

    Wow, nice @Andres2 ! Great looking set, but wow on an AE Galba... looks very nice!

    I have an AR Galba, and a VERY ruddy looking Sestertius:

    Really a distinctive face.

    Alegandron, that's the same type Sestertius which was in my 12 Caesar set:

    Great addition @Andres2, and nice looking set. I dont have a bronze coin of Galba, and I lack quite some bronzes to be able to put together a set. One day however....
