from the Mountain Groan Collection
After a period of striking reales, pesos and escudos which must be regarded as failure, Ecuador ceased minting coins in 1862. In 1884, the government tried again, this time with coinage produced on contract by the Heaton mint in Birmingham, England. A new currency conforming to the Latin Monetary Union was introduced, the sucre, with its division the centavo. This issue from 1886 is the only other date of the type, which is reasonably available in circulated condition but rather pricey in high grade. No further one centavos were minted until 1909.
Recorded mintage: 1,000,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM 48.
