[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3076570, member: 8959"][SIZE=5]Hi Andrew, that is a very interesting denarius of Galba. A very unusual portrait, and both obverse and reverse are of a style and type that I do not believe I have seen before. Galba's Spanish coins are really different in style from their Rome counterparts, as you noted. The range is really quite amazing for such a short-lived emperor. Your coin reminds a lot of the example which I posted here a while back (It is considered to be unique). [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/galba-denarius-hispania-unpublished-possibly-unique-specimen.307481/[/url] You may want to post your coin in the French Ancients Forum as well. There are some quite knowledgeable people there on the coinage of Galba. Eduard [/SIZE][/QUOTE]
