Egypt The Fatimid dynasty (Arabic: الفاطميون) was an Isma'ili Shi'a dynasty of Arab descent[1] that ruled an extensive empire, the Fatimid Caliphate, between 909 and 1171 CE. Claiming descent from Fatima and Ali, they also held the Isma'ili imamate, claiming to be the rightful leaders of the Muslim community. The line of Nizari Isma'ili imams, represented today by the Aga Khans, claims descent from a branch of the Fatimids.

The Mark was part of the ‘golden standard’ monetary system. The value of one mark was fixed to the value of 0.358 grams of gold.This changed in 1914, with the outbreak of World War I. To pay for the war, and to protect its gold reserves, Germany abandoned the gold standard. From August 1914, Reichsbanknotes were no longer exchangeable for gold. Before August 1914, each German banknote issue had to be covered at least one-third by gold reserves. Starting from August 1914, newly set up loan banks could simply print money.
