[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 3107595, member: 74968"]Thanks for your concern [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] but I am relatively certain it is correct. Dr Jyki Muona has seen the coin and has not expressed doubt. It was in a famous collection called "The Galba collection" put together by a Galba specialist, and it was offered by a large Swiss auction house which also offers a guarantee of authenticity. It also happens to look like other Spanish denarii. The portraits on these are always a bit strange. The denarii of Galba have an amazing diversity considering the limited minting time. Here are a few examples of the strange portraits of Galba.
