| Reverse description | A displayed Imperial double-headed eagle dominates the reverse, its two heads crowned and turned outward, with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in low relief. At the center of the eagle's breast is an orb or small shield bearing the city arms of Ulm — a distinctive emblem of the city's status as a Free Imperial City. A small cross surmounts the central motif between the two heads. The composition fills the coin's field to the edge, with no visible surrounding legend, consistent with the small module of this denomination. |

| Additional information |
Ulm retained the right to strike its own coinage as a Free Imperial City until Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire and absorbed the city into Württemberg in 1810. This issue falls squarely within that final century of municipal minting autonomy — a period when small silver fractions like this were increasingly squeezed by the proliferation of larger territorial coinages from surrounding Baden and Bavaria. The two-year window of 1703–1704 likely reflects a specific civic authorization rather than continuous production, though the surviving population is too thin to say much more with confidence.
