Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo coin from Ecuador, minted between 1884 and 1886, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the iconic image of the Andean condor, a symbol of Ecuadorian culture and heritage. The condor is depicted with outstretched wings on the coin's obverse, surrounded by the coin's denomination and the country's name. This design was meant to represent the country's rich history and natural beauty, and it has become a recognizable symbol of Ecuador's national identity.
