Looking for historical ISO currency codes that no longer exist or appear to be barely documented anywhere online? Here are a few obscure examples such as:
- The Chilean Peso/Conder used from 1851-1959 was CLC.
- The Pennsylvania Proclamation Dollar used by the colony in 1709 was CPAP.
- The Danish Gold Krone of Account used from 1618-1713 on the Faeroe Islands was DKG.
- The British West Indies Dollar used by the British Virgin Islands (Leeward Islands) in 1935-1959 was XBWD.
Wikipedia usually is your source of ISO currency codes, but a lot of this legacy data seems to have disappeared from the web, and possibly can only be found on The Wayback Machine (archive.org) but only if you luck out in a search query. The Global Financial Data website used to host a spreadsheet which from all my hunting and pecking appears to be the best resource, now virtually invisible on the internet but you can find it via the Wayback at GHC Histories (downloadable spreadsheet).
Now I am not claiming the GHC reference document is the definitive answer but so far, the only place I was able to find out anything concrete about the CLC in Chile because everything else I searched only mentioned what happened after 1959, listing no ISO codes before that time.
