Hi guy's, my first post here, so hopefully this request will be OK.

I have been trying to find the RIC number and any other info on this coin, but cannot find it. I have looked in RIC volume 1, but not sure if it is there.

The legend reads IMP SER GALBA, appears to be holding the horse reigns, no sign of a spear, arm not raised.
Other side I believe has 3 Gauls, globe to point of bust - TRES GALLIAE below.

Image colour not quite right, used a light to highlight the detail, but the coin is silver 2.93g in weight, 18mm diameter.

Thanks for any help.

​ Thanks for the reply Alex, I think the reference you mentioned is a different coin, I now believe the coin I have to be a copy and will be returning it.
