I think you can do what you want with a small custom extension. Simply 
extend the prices table in the DB with a field for currency (maybe a 
relation to static infotables) and of course correctly configured in 
extTables (and probably somewhere else to get shown in the flexform). 
Now you are able to assign a currency to each price you create in commerce.

After that, you can use some of the hooks to create the needed markers 
and subpart sections you like to show in the shop.

But I think you will have a problem in the basket, as it might be a bit 
too much showing two currencies there. Maybe a better solution would be 
to provide a dropdown field somewhere, where the visitor can select 
which currency he likes to see.

Just some ideas that might help.
