I agree with your answer

True. The official currency in some Spanish-speaking countries is indeed named after famous explorers. For example, the currency of Mexico is called the Mexican peso, which is named after the 16th-century Spanish conquistador Francisco Hernández de Córdoba (also known as the founder of Nicaragua) who was also known as Hernán Cortés. Similarly, the currency in Chile is called the Chilean peso, which is named after the 19th-century Chilean liberator Bernardo O'Higgins. So, in these cases, the currencies are indeed associated with famous explorers or historical figures.
