| Comments |
Ecuador's central bank leaned heavily on Thomas De La Rue throughout the 1980s for its circulating series, and this 50 Sucres note falls squarely within that period of relative monetary stability before the sucre's serious deterioration in the late 1980s and 1990s. The denomination itself was a workhorse of daily commerce during these years — not high enough to be hoarded, not low enough to be ignored.
P#122 ran across a five-year window, which typically points to satisfactory print runs with limited pressure to redesign or reissue. Heavy circulation wear is the norm for survivors.
