| 正面描述 | A raised club depicted in relief at the center of the oval flan, oriented vertically with the head facing upward, rendered in a bold and stylized manner characteristic of early central Italian cast bronze coinage. The surface of the flan is rough and uneven, consistent with the casting technique employed for aes grave series. No legend or inscription is present. The club serves as the principal type identifier for this Umbrian uncia issue. |

The Umbrian aes grave series sits in one of the murkiest corners of early Italian numismatics — the issuing city for this type remains unresolved, with candidates including Tuder and Iguvium, neither attribution definitively proven. Production falls squarely within the Second Punic War's opening phase, when Rome's allied Italian communities were minting bronze on their own authority, some out of genuine monetary need, others possibly to meet Roman military requisitions for campaign logistics.
Cast rather than struck, as with all aes grave. The rough fabric and variable flan quality characteristic of the series makes weight the primary authenticity check.
