Peruvian Sol

The Peruvian Sol (PEN) is the official currency of Peru. Introduced in 1991 to replace the Inti (which had suffered hyperinflation), the sol takes its name from the Latin word for sun, also depicted on Peru's national coat of arms. Peru is one of the world's top producers of copper, gold, zinc, and silver, making the sol a commodity-sensitive currency. The Banco Central de Reserva del Perú manages monetary policy, and Peru is one of Latin America's more economically stable countries.

South African Rand

The South African Rand (ZAR) is the official currency of South Africa and is also accepted as legal tender in Lesotho, Eswatini, and Namibia. Introduced in 1961 to replace the pound at decimal independence, the rand takes its name from the Witwatersrand ridge where South Africa's gold deposits were discovered in 1886. The ZAR is a commodity currency heavily correlated with gold, platinum, and mining sector performance. It is the most traded African currency and is sensitive to global risk appetite.
