| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two overlapping relief reproductions of the historic one-escudo coin struck at the Casa de la Moneda de Quito, presented as medallic intaglio portraits within the field. The left image shows the obverse of the original escudo featuring a draped colonial bust, while the right image displays the reverse of the escudo with a radiant sun motif and seated figure, closely echoing the 1833 Quito Mint design. Surrounding the central motif, the arc legend reads 'REPLICA DE LA MONEDA DE UN ESCUDO ACUÑADA EN LA CASA DE LA MONEDA DE QUITO' along the upper field. Along the lower exergue, the inscription 'UN SUCRE · ORO LEY 900 · 31.1g' denotes the denomination, fineness, and weight. The overall design serves as a tribute to Ecuador's colonial monetary heritage. |
