The denomination numeral 2 appears to the left and the mark R to the right of the pomegranate, flanking the central device. The legend CUNDINAMARCA curves around the upper periphery, while the assayer initials Ba. J.F. appear in the lower field, all within a dentillated border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ecuador's first independent coinage was not struck fresh — it was recycled. Facing an immediate shortage of circulating coin after separating from Gran Colombia in 1830, the new government authorized the countermarking of existing Spanish colonial 2 reales pieces already in circulation. The "ECUADOR / 1831" stamp effectively nationalized foreign silver without the expense or infrastructure of a functioning mint.
Ecuador would not open its own mint until Quito began operations in 1833.
