Ecuador's sucre was already dead by the time this coin was struck. The country had officially dollarized in September 2000, replacing the sucre with the US dollar following a catastrophic banking crisis that wiped out roughly half of Ecuador's financial institutions between 1998 and 2000. This piece is therefore a commemorative issued in a currency that no longer circulated — a collector artifact denominated in a unit of account that had ceased to exist as legal tender two years prior.
The Balsa de Guayaquil references the pre-Columbian balsa wood sailing rafts used by coastal Ecuadorian traders, first documented by Spanish conquistadors in 1526 when Bartolomé Ruiz encountered one off the coast of what is now Ecuador.
