This specimen was part of lot 34589 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), which did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "ECUADOR. 1/2 Centavo-2 Decimo, 1884-1942. 9 pieces in lot. Comprised of Centavo and Decimo denomination coinage. Some pieces show surface hairlines or scratches, all other are mint state. Should be examined. SOLD AS IS/NO RETURNS. All are NGC certified, grades EF Details--Scratches to MS-65." After a period of striking reales, pesos and escudos which must be regarded as a 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 type was struck 1884 and 1889-90 at Heaton, England, and was also issued from Santiago and Lima.
Recorded mintage: 50,000.
Specification: 2.50 g, 0.900 fine silver.
Catalog reference: KM-50.1.
