eAuction #48, Lot 63. Estimate: CHF 3'500.00

Galba (68-69 AD). AE Sestertius (37.5 mm, 26.43 g), Roma (Rome), 68.
Obv. IMP SER GALBA AVG TR P, laureate and draped bust to right.
Rev. S - C, Victory standing facing, head turned to left, holding wreath in right and palm in left.
RIC 250 (R).

A spectacular portrait and with magnificent brown patina reminiscent of 19th Century Collections. Struck on an unusually large flan and good very fine.

This is a very rare variety with Victory standing rather than alighting: no such coin is listed on acsearch.info.
