Europa. Las monedas mundiales: ultimas cotizaciones conocidas en dollars [Europe. World currencies: latest known exchange rates in dollars]
A handsome early-Cold-War map of Europe organised not by frontiers alone but by money. Sterling, francs, guilders, crowns, marks, pesetas, lire, drachmas, roubles and eastern European currencies are all quoted against the United States dollar. Its key distinguishes official from free-market rates, a revealing qualification in a world of exchange controls and only partial convertibility: an administratively declared rate did not necessarily equal the price obtainable in trade. Published in the year that the principal Western European currencies returned to current-account convertibility, the map still long predates both the European Exchange Rate Mechanism of 1979 and the euro. Many of its monetary units—and the USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia—have since disappeared. National figures animate the restrained ochre, black, red and cream design, while reflecting contemporary stereotypes.
