About This Reference Rate
Saint Helena's government issues its own pound, fully backed one-to-one by British sterling reserves, so the currency's value never departs from whatever the British pound is worth at any given moment. The figure here is derived from that peg through current dollar cross-rates and is a reference only.
Common Uses
Why This Pair Comes Up
A few specific situations explain most of the interest in comparing these two currencies.
Pegged 1:1 With the British Pound
Every Saint Helena pound in circulation is backed by an equal sterling reserve, keeping the two currencies locked at exact parity rather than letting the island's pound trade independently.
Napoleon's Final Exile and Death
Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to Saint Helena after his defeat at Waterloo and lived there until his death in 1821, making the island a notable historical pilgrimage site.
One of the Most Remote Inhabited Islands in the World
Saint Helena sits roughly 1,900 kilometers from the nearest continental coastline, a degree of isolation that long made the island reachable only by ship until an airport opened in 2017.
