| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned electoral arms of Mainz displayed in the center of the field, with the initials E I (for Emmerich Joseph) flanking the shield on either side. The crown surmounts the arms without an encircling legend. The design is rendered in a simple, functional style typical of minor copper coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Emmerich Joseph von Breidbach-Bürresheim was elected Archbishop-Elector of Mainz in 1763 and proved an unusually reform-minded prince of the Church, drawn toward Febronianism and the broader Josephinist impulse to curtail papal authority over German ecclesiastical affairs. Small copper issues like this one were struck specifically to address chronic shortages of low-denomination coinage in the Rhenish territories — a persistent problem throughout the mid-eighteenth century that periodically disrupted local markets. His archiepiscopacy lasted until his death in 1774, making the two-year window of this particular pfennig a narrow one.
