Description
A curated collection of authentic Ecuadorian banknotes (Sucres), previously held in the private collection of the late Marcos Francisco Susecum Ottati, a distinguished Ecuadorian diplomat and former Ambassador.
The collection represents the national currency of Ecuador prior to the dollarization in 2000. These banknotes are known for their intricate engravings featuring national heroes and landmarks. Because this set belonged to a high-ranking diplomat, it carries significant historical weight as a relic of Ecuador’s sovereign financial history during the mid-to-late 20th century.
