I think it is fair to assume that the initial investment was 1 unit of money.

A=P(1+i)n

1.1296=1(1+i)19

1.1296^(1/19)=1+i

i=1.1296^(1/19)-1

$${{\mathtt{1.129\: \!6}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{19}}}}\right)}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{1}} = {\mathtt{0.006\: \!434\: \!485\: \!969\: \!525\: \!8}}$$

monthly interest rate is approximately 0.643 %
