| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick Charles Joseph von Erthal became Archbishop-Elector of Mainz in 1774 and proved an unusually reform-minded prince of the Church, aligning himself with Josephinist administrative ideas at a time when most ecclesiastical rulers were dragging their feet. The Archbishopric's copper pfennig issues of this period served the persistent demand for small change in the Rhine-Main region, where fractional coinage perpetually fell short of commercial needs.
Erthal's tenure ended when French Revolutionary forces occupied Mainz in 1792, terminating centuries of ecclesiastical coinage rights in a single campaign season.
