Exchange Rates (Forex) from 1252

Finaeon delivers an unmatched repository of exchange rate data, with a history that begins in 1252 when Florence and Genoa pioneered currency exchanges. This early innovation in finance laid the groundwork for the dynamic global foreign exchange markets we know today. Finaeon’s GFDatabase goes far beyond surface-level insights, offering monthly exchange rates starting in 1590 and a century’s worth of daily exchange rates since the 1920s.
