Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Peruvian sol to pound exchange rate, and the Peruvian sol buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Peruvian sol to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Peruvian sol in British pounds. For example, a Peruvian sol to pound rate of 0.2105 means one Peruvian sol is worth 0.2105 pounds.
In contrast, the Peruvian sol buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Peruvian soles you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Peruvian sol buyback rate of 4.75 means you'd have to exchange 4.75 Peruvian soles to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Peruvian sol buyback rate instead of the Peruvian sol to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Peruvian sol comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Peruvian sol to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Peruvian sol buyback rate into the actual Peruvian sol to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Peruvian sol buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 4.75 = 0.2105.
