Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Escudos 1833-1835 coin from Ecuador is that it was minted during a time of political instability in the country. The coin was issued by the government of President Juan José Flores, who was facing opposition from various political factions and had to flee the country in 1835. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained in circulation and is now a sought-after collector's item.
