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.
