Right off I can think of the balboa, the bolivars, and the sucre as denominations named after people, any others that do or have existed?

The only other one I can think off right now which might fit that category is the Krugerrand.

Postscript: While I walked the dog I remembered, there is a precedent for the naming of the Krugerrand namely the Louis d'or.

But not to waste a post let me also post another coin for the day:

Seems you have a varied collection 'Anwyll Rwden' - trying to collect circulation coins from all countries?

Here another variant to the name Cent which in the end just means 1/100th:
