Comment
Brass coins of 5 centavos 1970, 10 centavos 1976, 20 centavos 1974, 50 centavos 1975 and 1 sucre 1975 were minted only for the mint sets by Monnaies et Medailles du Monde in Paris (1977). For an unknown reason, they were called patterns by Krause Publications.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1975 Ecuadorian 50 Centavos coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage.
