Good extremely fine.)"</blockquote> Soldiers of revolutionary France occupied Mainz in October 1792, causing the archbishop to flee. Coalition forces besieged and captured the city in July 1793 after a heavy bombardment. This and other issues of 1794-95 were likely struck to celebrate the departure of the French and to reward those involved in the relief of the city. This type is the last of the denomination.
