| Aversbeschreibung | The Ecuadorian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting an oval cartouche surmounted by a condor with outstretched wings perched atop, flanked on either side by fasces bearing a Phrygian cap and a palm branch. The shield contains a representation of Mount Chimborazo with a steamship on a river in the lower portion, framed by a row of stars along the base. Two flags and two banners flank the shield on each side. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR arcs across the upper periphery, with QUITO below and the assayer initials G.J. and denomination 2.Rs positioned at the lower right. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Casa de Moneda de Quito operated under persistent difficulty throughout its existence — chronic silver shortages, irregular assayer supervision, and equipment that was never quite adequate for consistent output. The 1847–1852 2 Reales series reflects this: strike quality varies considerably across the run, and assayer initial combinations from these years can differ even within the same year's production.
Ecuador had only formally separated from Gran Colombia in 1830, and the monetary infrastructure inherited from the colonial period was still being rationalized when these pieces were struck. The Quito mint would close permanently in 1862.
