Comment

Note: 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.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate Quito's designation as the "Capital of Culture" in 2004, and features an image of the city's historic center on one side, and the Ecuadorian coat of arms on the other.
