This note ran through an unusually long print lifespan — over two decades with Thomas De La Rue — during a period when Ecuador's sucre was under persistent inflationary pressure following the collapse of the cacao boom and the country's chronic balance-of-payments struggles. The Banco Central kept the denomination in circulation far longer than economic conditions would have recommended, a fiscal decision that eroded the note's real-world purchasing power to near irrelevance by the early 1980s.
De La Rue produced multiple date variants across the series run, making precise attribution dependent on signature combinations rather than visual differences.
