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. Silver decimos (= ten centavos) were produced at Heaton 1884-90, at Santiago in 1889 and at Lima, Peru, 1892-1900 and 1912-15. The specimen shown is from Lima. The date is common in all grades with a slightly scarce overdate, 1894/3, also recorded.
Recorded mintage: 206,000.
Specification: 2.5 g, 0.900 fine silver, .072 troy oz ASW.
Catalog reference: KM 51.3.
