| Additional information |
Anselm Franz von Ingelheim served as Archbishop-Elector of Mainz from 1679 until his death in 1695, presiding over a diocese in perpetual financial stress during the Nine Years' War. Louis XIV's forces devastated the Rhine region beginning in 1688, and the Mainz electoral treasury was under severe strain funding both military obligations and reconstruction. The 15 Kreuzer denomination was a workhorse of German small commerce in this period, but issues from ecclesiastical mints under wartime pressure frequently show irregular planchet quality — a product of disrupted silver supply rather than minting indifference.
