Iguvium — modern Gubbio, in Umbria — was one of the few non-Latin communities to strike aes grave during the early Republican period, producing a small and poorly understood series that sits awkwardly outside the main Central Italian minting traditions. The absence of the raised disc that defines most uncia types in this series is not damage or wear; it is a deliberate typological choice whose precise significance remains unresolved among scholars of Italic coinage.
