1 Ducat - George Frederick of Greiffenklau of Vollraths

George Frederick of Greiffenklau zu Vollraths held the archbishopric for barely two years, dying in September 1629 after an episcopate defined almost entirely by the grinding pressures of the Thirty Years' War. Mainz itself would fall to Swedish forces under Gustav Adolf just two years after his death. Issues from his short reign are scarce by simple arithmetic — the mint had no occasion to produce in volume for a see already hemorrhaging resources to military contributions and refugee displacement.
