| Obverse description | The obverse features the denomination expressed entirely in words within the central field, reading 'UN CUARTO' in two lines. A circular legend around the periphery reads 'REPUBLI. DEL ECUADOR' at the top and 'QUITO' at the bottom, identifying the issuing republic and the mint city. The design is stark and typographic, with no pictorial elements, relying solely on lettering for its composition. The legends are rendered in serif capital letters, with the coin's reeded edge visible at the rim. |
