| Additional information |
Ecuador's 1970 brass 5 centavos pattern was struck as part of a set issued under the Banco Central at a moment when the country was weighing a wholesale shift in its coinage metals. The military government of General Guillermo Rodríguez Lara, which would take power in 1972, inherited currency infrastructure decisions already set in motion — this pattern being one of them.
The KM#PnA13 designation places it firmly in pattern territory, never released for general circulation.
