<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 181319, member: 39&quot;]Actually it first was called &quot;Sacrum (Romanum) Imperium&quot; - after all, it saw itself as a legitimate successor to the ancient Roman empire. That &quot;Deutscher Nation&quot; was added in the 15th or 16th century, I think. As for the currency name in the &quot;second empire&quot;, the official term was indeed just &quot;Mark&quot;. The Reichsmark did not exist before 1924.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, when it was necessary to differentiate between the Mark of the (second) Reich and older Marks (say, from Lübeck) or colonial coinage (e.g. New Guinea), the term &quot;Reichsmark&quot; was sometimes used for clarification purposes. So, in a way you&#039;re both right. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
