| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Ecuador occupies the central field, depicting a condor with spread wings perched atop an oval shield that bears a river scene with a steamship and snow-capped volcano. The shield is flanked by four national flags and supported by laurel and palm branches at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR runs along the upper periphery, with the date 1976 inscribed in the lower exergue. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Ecuador's small-denomination coinage of the 1970s shifted to copper-nickel clad steel as global silver prices and raw material costs made older compositions economically untenable — a pattern repeated across Latin America during the same decade. The clad steel transition for this type occurred incrementally across several compositional variants, which is why KM#76 carries multiple suffixed varieties cataloged within a short span of years.
