It’s estimated that the pound sterling made up around 64% of
the world’s official FX reserves in 1899. It had fallen to about 48% by 1913.
As you'll likely glean from the graphic below,
Addogram
notes that historic recurrence seems to like operating in base-100 when it
comes to reserve currencies.
The dollar's share of global (official
allocated) FX reserves has fallen from 72% in 1999 to 62% at present.
As
we have
pointed out before - reserve currency status doesn't last forever...
The center of each “dynamic” pie chart below shows the composition of
official (allocated) foreign exchange reserves in 1999. The further you move
outwards from the center, the closer you draw to the present day."
