| Additional information |
Ulm struck ducats on civic authority into the early eighteenth century, a privilege jealously maintained by the city's council against repeated Habsburg pressure to consolidate coinage rights across the imperial cities. By 1705, Ulm's independent minting was already anachronistic — the Peace of Westphalia had reshuffled monetary authority across the Empire, and many smaller issuers had quietly surrendered their mint privileges within a generation. Ulm held on.
The city would lose its status entirely in 1802, annexed by Bavaria during the Napoleonic reorganization of German territories.
