The circumferential legend reads REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR, with QUITO inscribed in the lower exergue separated by a trefoil ornament, the lettering in relief against a flat field. |

| Reverse description | Central device features two volcanoes — representing Chimborazo and Cotopaxi — rising from a plain, above which radiates a resplendent sun with alternating straight and flame-like rays. The denomination numerals '4' and 'R' flank the sun to left and right respectively. The circumferential legend EL PODER EN LA CONSTITUCION arcs around the upper periphery, while the date and assayer initials 1842. M.V. appear in the lower legend. |
