A mass desertion of 400 men followed, who marched on Fulda in an armed mutiny. However, approximately 43 Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs), 136 Enlisted men, and a smaller number of Officers remained loyal, and the revolt was crushed on 5 August 1814. Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss-Greiz, then Governer General of Frankfurt, commissioned a pair of awards for those who remained loyal subjects, with a gilded silver version for Officers and gilded copper version for NCOs and Enlisted men.
