| Additional information |
Ecuador's Casa de Moneda de Quito operated under severe constraints in its early republican years — chronic silver shortages, inconsistent alloy control, and a workforce still trained under colonial Spanish methods. The .666 fineness of this issue reflects a deliberate reduction from the old colonial standard, a pragmatic adjustment made as the young republic struggled to maintain any mint output at all. Quito's mint would close permanently in 1862, making its entire republican coinage a relatively compressed run.
KM#13 pieces frequently show uneven planchet preparation, a known production artifact of this facility rather than post-mint damage.
