This captivating reproduction of a Roman sestertius features Emperor Galba, one of the short-reigned rulers of the tumultuous "Year of the Four Emperors" in 69 AD. The obverse presents Galba’s laureate portrait, encircled by the inscription SER GALBA IMP CAESAR AVG, affirming his status as Imperator and Caesar Augustus. Galba’s stern profile and resolute expression reflect his austere leadership and the brief yet consequential role he played in restoring a sense of order after the fall of Nero.
The reverse displays the winged figure of Victory, draped and advancing left while holding a laurel wreath—an emblem of military success and divine favor. Flanked by the large initials S C (Senatus Consulto), the piece acknowledges that its original inspiration derives from coinage minted by decree of the Senate. This modern restrike faithfully mirrors the stylistic and symbolic choices of the original Roman issue, offering collectors a tangible link to a critical and chaotic moment in imperial history.
