About Sol
The sol is the currency of Peru; it is subdivided into 100 céntimos. The ISO 4217 currency code is PEN.
The sol replaced the Peruvian inti in 1991 and the name is a return to that of Peru's historic currency, as the previous incarnation of sol was in use from 1863 to 1985. Although sol in this usage is derived from the Latin solidus, the word also means "sun" in Spanish. There is thus a continuity with the old Peruvian inti, which was named after Inti, the Sun God of the Incas.
At its introduction in 1991, the currency was officially called nuevo sol, until November 13, 2015, when Peru's Congress voted to rename the currency simply sol. WikipediaAbout Georgian Lari
