During the Spanish Succession War, Ulm chose the side of the Allies and turned against the imperial authority. French and Bavarian troops were encamped in the city, led by General von Bettendorf. From August 22, 1704 the city was besieged by imperial troops led by the Duke of Marlborough. Those forces consisted of mainly British and Dutch. Due to a lack of silver during the siege, ecclesiastical silver and silver coins of the bourgeoisie were melted down to create the Ulmer Gulden. Please see images for details.
