a.k.a. SHP
The currency of the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, fixed one-to-one with the British pound.
In plain English
The currency of the remote South Atlantic island of Saint Helena, fixed one-to-one with the British pound.
The Saint Helena pound (SHP) is used on Saint Helena, the remote British territory where Napoleon spent his final exile, and on Ascension Island. It is pegged at par with the British pound, so one SHP always equals one GBP. It is a local curiosity rather than anything you would trade.
