ECUADOR. 8 Escudos, 1856-QUITO GJ. Quito Mint. NGC AU-55. Fr-8; KM-34.2. Some very light wear upon the higher points is noted, but this handsome and wholesome specimen is otherwise without much in the way of handling. Meanwhile, some deeper orange toning is evident at the peripheries and around the devices, with a minor edge crack noted near the bottom of the obverse merely for completeness.
