ECUADOR. Real, 1834-QUITO GJ. Quito Mint. PCGS MS-63.
KM-13; Seppa/Anderson-EC25; Carr-19. This single finest certified of the date on the PCGS population report. An EXTREMELY RARE issue in this high state of preservation.

The surfaces are smooth displaying a light iridescent sheen with richer coloration amongst the devices adding to its pleasing appearance and originality.

It is interesting to note that the September 2002 UBS auction described this piece as "Probably the finest known extant." This may not be the finest known, NGC has certified a single MS 64 example, but the quality cannot be overstated for this magnificent minor coin.
