| Reverse description | The denomination and date are boldly inscribed across the plain field in three lines of raised Latin lettering: 'EIN' at the top, 'KREUTZER' across the centre, and the four-digit date below, followed by the mint mark 'G' for Günzburg placed in the lower field beneath the date. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, relying entirely on the inscription for its composition, with a milled border encircling the periphery. |

| Additional information |
Ulm maintained its status as a Free Imperial City until Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire's remaining structures and handed the city to Bavaria in 1802. These kreuzers were struck less than three decades before that end — municipal copper coinage from a city that had been self-governing since the thirteenth century. The 1772–1773 date range likely reflects a single contracted minting run rather than continuous production, a common arrangement for smaller imperial cities that lacked permanent mint facilities of their own.
