Information about currency: Saint Helena Pound

The Saint Helena pound (also called simply "pound") is the currency of the Atlantic islands of Saint Helena and Ascension, which are constituents of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha. It is fixed at parity with the pound sterling and is subdivided into 100 pence.

Tristan da Cunha, the third part of the territory, uses Pound sterling rather than the St Helena pound. However there are occasionally commemorative coins minted for the island.

The circulating issues of the currency carry a legend naming both entities: "Saint Helena and Ascension Island"; however, both of them also issue non-circulating coinage in their own separate names - such as "Saint Helena" only. They are issued for international coin collectors and not for use on the island.
