The bust is set within an open wreath of laurel or olive branches that frames the field on either side.

Aanvullende informatie	The sucre had been Ecuador's monetary unit since 1884, named for Antonio José de Sucre, the Venezuelan-born general who secured Ecuadorian independence at the Battle of Pichincha in 1822. By the mid-1980s, chronic inflation and a collapse in oil revenues — Ecuador's primary export earner — were eroding the currency's purchasing power steadily. The shift to nickel-clad steel for this denomination reflects the period's fiscal pressures; intrinsic metal costs had made earlier compositions increasingly impractical. The sucre was ultimately abolished in 2000 when Ecuador dollarized its economy following a catastrophic banking crisis.
