| Aanvullende informatie |
Emmerich Joseph von Breidbach-Bürresheim was elected Archbishop-Elector of Mainz in 1763, inheriting one of the most financially strained ecclesiastical territories in the Holy Roman Empire — his predecessor Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostein had left the archbishopric burdened with war debts accumulated during the Seven Years' War, which had ended just that same year. This 5 Kreuzer was struck two years into his reign as part of a broader recoinage effort to stabilize the fractional silver supply disrupted by wartime hoarding and currency debasement across the Rhineland.
Breidbach-Bürresheim was notably reform-minded, later a patron of the Enlightenment and an associate of figures in the German Catholic reform movement. He died in 1774, leaving no successor coinage in this denomination.
