The Mark had been the first currency of Germany since its original integration in 1871. Before that tim e, the different German states issued a variety of different currencies, though most were linked to the Vereinsthaler, a silver coin containing 16 2/3 grams of pure silver. Although the Mark was based on gold rather than silver, a fixed exchange rate between the Vereinsthaler and the Mark of 3 Mark = 1 Vereinsthaler was used for the conversion.

The first Mark , known as the Goldmark, was introduced in 1873. With the outbreak of the World War I, the Mark was ta ken off the gold standard.

The Papiermark was replaced by the Rentenmark in late 1923 and the Reichsmark (RM) in 1924.
