Ecuador 5 Sucres
January 05, 2008, 11:36:46 AM


A nifty silver coin, Ecuadorian, 5 Sucres.  1943, minted in Mexico City.

It was named after Antonio José de Sucre.  This guy graces a good portion of the Ecuadorian coins that I've seen, and is quite recognizable by his large snout. ^^ 

Do add this coin to my collection?

I really don't understand why they chose this cartoonish portrait.  There are so many nicer ones that look much more realistic!


Antonio José de Sucre, second president of Bolivia.
