| Additional information |
John Philip von Schönborn, Archbishop-Elector of Mainz from 1647 until his death in 1673, was one of the most politically active princes of the Holy Roman Empire in the post-Westphalian decades — a mediator at Osnabrück, founder of the Rhenish Alliance, and a consistent check on Habsburg ambition. These 30 Kreuzer pieces fall in the final years of his tenure, when Mainz's mint output was shaped partly by the currency chaos following the Kipper- und Wipperzeit's long inflationary shadow and ongoing attempts to stabilize subsidiary silver coinage across the Rhenish circle.
