<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3522643, member: 74968&quot;]It has been a while since I have added any coins to my Galba denarii collection. When I saw this I was struck by the portrait. I love the variation of portraits within the denarii of Galba. The ones from Spain (presumedly Tarraco) are some of the strangest imperial portraits I have ever seen. This one is no exception.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also like the full legends. This is one of the longest legends I have seen for Galba-particularly for Spain. Many of the Spanish denarii have IMP GALBA or IMPERATOR GALBA for the obverse legend. I have also wanted a denarius for some time with the SPQR and wreath reverse. However the ones I have seen until now have been from the Rome mint (RIC 167). I really want one from a Spanish mint and one finally appeared.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very happy to have won this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your coins of Galba.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]935378[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Galba, 68-69 Denarius Tarraco (?)
