| Obverse description | The Ecuadorian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a condor with spread wings atop an oval shield containing Mount Chimborazo, a steamship on the river, and the sun above. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR runs along the upper periphery, with the date 1975 displayed in the lower exergue. The design is struck in high relief on a broad flan with a polished brass finish. |

| Additional information |
Ecuador's 1975 sucre pattern coinage emerged during the government of General Guillermo Rodríguez Lara, whose military junta was navigating an oil boom that had transformed the country's economy almost overnight following the 1972 Amazonian pipeline opening. Pattern sets from this period were produced as the Banco Central evaluated potential coinage reforms that were never fully implemented, leaving pieces like this one without a corresponding circulation issue.
The KM#Pn15 designation confirms pattern status. Survival numbers are unknown but almost certainly very small.
