| Additional information |
Anselm Franz von Ingelheim held the archiepiscopal see of Mainz from 1679 until his death in 1695, governing during the prolonged disruption of Louis XIV's Rhine campaigns. French forces occupied and devastated much of the Mainz electorate during the Nine Years' War, and small silver pfennig issues from this period frequently show irregular planchet quality — a direct consequence of disrupted metal supplies and the hasty relocation of minting operations under military pressure.
