Depicts the coat of arms of the Republic of Ecuador with the denomination positioned above it, alongside details of the metal purity and weight, the mintmark on the bottom.

Ecuador's coat of arms was established in 1900, inspired by an earlier version from 1845. Within the oval shield, Mount Chimborazo forms the backdrop, while the river flowing from its base represents the Guayas, symbolizing the beauty and prosperity of their respective regions (Sierra or Costa). The vessel sailing on the river, also named Guayas, was constructed in Guayaquil in 1841, marking the first steamship built on the west coast of South America. Instead of a mast, it bears a Caduceus, symbolizing trade and commerce. Atop the shield sits a sun encircled by astrological signs from Aries to Cancer, representing the months from March to July, symbolizing the duration of the March Revolution of 1845.

The condor perched atop the shield extends its wings, symbolizing Ecuador's power, magnificence, and resilience. Flanking the shield are four Ecuadorian flags. The laurel on the left signifies the republic's triumphs, while the palm leaf on the right is a tribute to the martyrs who fought for independence and freedom. Below the shield, the fasces symbolizes republican unity and strength.

Antonio José de Sucre y Alcalá (1795–1830), recognized as the "Gran Mariscal de Ayacucho" (translated as "Grand Marshal of Ayacucho"), was a prominent figure in the fight for Venezuelan independence and served as the second President of Bolivia. Sucre shared a deep bond with Simón Bolívar, being not only a trusted friend but also a dedicated general and statesman. Bolivia's capital city, Sucre, Venezuela's state, and a department in Colombia are all named in his honor. Additionally, Ecuador's currency bore the name Sucre from 1884 to 2000, paying homage to Antonio José de Sucre.
