You want Currencies::get()

 

Note that the exchange_rate is based off of your default currency. So if you want the rate of conversion between two currencies and neither is the default currency, you'll need to pull all 3 currencies and calculate the difference.

You can do it like that

$amount = $this->Currencies->convert($original_amount, $from_currency, $to_currency, $company_id) ;
$exchange_rate = ($amount/$original_amount) ;
