What is St Helena Pound (SHP)

The St Helena Pound, abbreviated as SHP, is the official currency of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha, British Overseas Territories. It was introduced in 1984 and is pegged to the British Pound Sterling (GBP) at a 1:1 ratio, meaning that one St Helena Pound is equivalent to one British Pound. The currency is often represented using the symbol £ or sometimes Sh.

The St Helena Pound is primarily used on the island of St Helena, a remote location in the South Atlantic. The currency consists of both coins and banknotes, which are distinctively designed to represent the rich history and culture of the islands. Common banknote denominations include £1, £5, £10, £20, and £50. Additionally, coins come in denominations of 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p, and higher.

While the use of the St Helena Pound is mostly local, it can also be exchanged for British Pounds or other currencies when traveling or conducting trade. Because the St Helena Pound is tied to the British Pound, changes in the GBP can directly affect the value and exchange rate of the SHP.
