| ARTICLES RELATED TO ISO 4217 | | | |  ISO 4217: Encyclopedia II - Peruvian sol - Nuevo SolThe nuevo sol ("new sun") was introduced in 1991 to replace the highly inflated inti. The ISO 4217 currency code is PEN (the inti was PEI).
The name derives from historical use and divination of the sun (sol, in Spanish) as a symbol of power, also as a (not-so-)subtle way of connecting the new currency (nuevo sol) to the old inti currency, which was named after Inti, the Sun God of the Incas, which in turn was derived from the old sol, derived from Latin Solidus, but misinterpreted as the homophonous word for Sun.

Irish pound - Origins of the Irish pound.
A distinct Irish pound existed until January 1826 when it ceased to exist as a currency. Like the pound sterling, the Irish pound was divided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence. However, it was not equivalent to sterling, with 13 Irish pounds equal to 12 pounds sterling. This lead to a situation where Irish copper coins circulated with British silver coins, since 13 Irish pence = 1 British shilling. The only 19th century exceptions were silver tokens denominated in Irish ...
