| Aversbeschreibung | Crowned quartered shield bearing the arms of Mainz (wheel) and Worms (cross and keys), flanked on either side by upright palm branches extending to the coin's periphery. A royal crown surmounts the shield at top center. The encircling Latin legend names the deceased archbishop, reading: R·P·GER·ANCHICPRE·E·P·W·DAMIAN·HARTARD·ARCHICPRE·MOGS·R·. The overall heraldic composition is rendered in a bold, late-17th-century Germanic style with strong relief. |

Damian Hartard von der Leyen died on December 6, 1678, having served as Archbishop-Elector of Mainz since 1675 — a short tenure during which he worked to restore ecclesiastical finances badly disrupted by the Thirty Years' War's long aftermath. The Sterbetaler tradition, issuing coins explicitly to commemorate the death of a ruling prince-bishop, was a distinctly German Catholic practice with both devotional and dynastic functions: these pieces circulated among clergy and nobility as memorial tokens as much as currency.
The 1/8 denomination is the smallest struck in this memorial series for Hartard, making it considerably scarcer in surviving examples than the full Sterbetaler.
