Comment
The Third Reich, meaning "Third Realm" or "Third Empire", alluded to the Nazis' conceit that Nazi Germany was the successor to the earlier Holy Roman Empire (800–1806) and German Empire (1871–1918).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhard Schmelz, who was known for his work on various German coins during the Third Reich period.
