I am trying to translate the currency into Italian; unfortunately, the same name in English is not the same in Italian. For example, pound, sometimes is Sterlina other times is Lira

For example, in this case how can I know which is precisely the currency named pound?

 

Before correcting thes translations, I need to know which is the meaning of the numbers above the coin value

I hope they help to understand if the coins are in English pounds or French Middle age liras

I suppose the second number (120 in the image) is the country/territory ID.

 

Xavier must replace ID by name.

The number is the ID of the currency. I would need to make some development to transform that into a country name and currency name.

Call it by its real name, pound, and the problem disappears. We don't translate the Italian lira to “pound”, after all.

Just a list of the pairs number-currency will be enough.
