                                Description

     This piece was minted for Roman Egypt during the short reign of
     Galba, who ruled from 68-69 AD. Galba was proclaimed emperor by
     the troops in the wake of the disturbances preceding the death of
     Nero. He was also confirmed by the Senate, but his strict
     discipline and rigid economies made him very unpopular, and Galba
     would be assassinated in the Forum on January 15, 69 AD, the
     result of a conspiracy organized by Otho. The obverse of this
     type features the laureate head of Galba facing right, with Greek
     legends for SER.OVI.GALBA.AVTO.KAIS.SEBA., and the regan year LB
     in the field at right. The reverse type features Eleutheria
     standing left, holding wreath and sceptre, elbow on column,
     simpulum at left. The Greek legend for ELEV THERIA also appears.
     Coin shows porous surfaces with some dark patina, but otherwise
     grades VG, with major devices and partial legends clearly
     visible, including a clear name. A decent and affordable example
     of this scarce Egyptian type, catalouged as Milne 341. All coins
     guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays
     postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA
     residents please add appropriate sales tax. Visa/MC now accepted
     for purchases over $20. Member ANA, PAN. For more ancients,
