BMC 34 (there incorrectly termed laureate). BN 76. Cohen -. RIC 167. Rare. Beautifully toned and with a powerful portrait. Extremely fine.
From a Swiss collection, acquired from LHS in 2008, and previously from an old Swiss collection.
The silver coinage of Galba is notorious for its relatively poor preservation; most examples known are in the 'very fine' range. This piece is unusually nice.
