In finance, the exchange rate tells you how many Australian Dollars you would pay or receive for 1 Euro. Cyprus and Malta which were quoted as the base to other currencies.
Quotes using a country's home currency as the price currency (e.g., EUR 1.00 = $1.45 in the US) are known as direct quotation or price quotation (from that country's perspective) ([1]) and are used in British newspapers and are also common in Australia, New Zealand and the eurozone.
direct quotation: 1 foreign currency unit = x foreign currency units
Note that, using direct quotation, if the home currency is depreciating.
When looking at a currency pair such as EURUSD, the first component (EUR in this case) will be called the base currency. The second is called the term currency. In most parts of the world, the order is:
EUR - GBP - AUD - NZD - USD - *** (where *** is any other currency).
Thus if you are doing a conversion from EUR into AUD, EUR is the base and USD the term, so 1 EUR = 1.33866 USD.
Currency pairs are often incorrectly quoted with a "/" (forward slash). In fact if the slash is inserted, the order of the currencies should be reversed. This gives the exchange rate. e.g. if EUR1 is worth USD1.35, Euro is the base currency and which is the base currency and Dollar is the term currency is USD and the base currency which gives an exchange rate that is quoted and traded today but for delivery and payment on a specific future date.
