| Aanvullende informatie |
Ecuador's first national coinage after independence relied heavily on foreign mints, and the 1884 half sucre was struck at the Lima mint in Peru — a practical arrangement given Ecuador's lack of domestic minting infrastructure at the time. The sucre as a monetary unit had only been established in 1884, replacing the peso, and this coin belongs to the very first emission of the new currency system.
KM#52 is known with both Lima and Heaton (Birmingham) mint origins across its early years, making mint attribution a genuine cataloging concern for this type.
