Ecuadorian sucre ceased being legal tender on September 11, 2000. But the Central Bank of Ecuador keeps on producing commemorative coins for collectors nominated in sucres.
The image of the balsa for this coin was taken from De Ulloa, Antonio y Jorge Juan. Relación Histórica del Viaje a la América Meridional - Madrid, 1748. Part 1, volume 1.
Interesting fact
The 25,000 Sucres coin from Ecuador made of Silver is a unique piece as it features the Balsa de Guayaquil, a historical boat that played a significant role in Ecuador's independence movement.
