Ecuador 1 sucre 200 Anniversary Independence Manuela Saenz PR70 PCGS silver 2011

The 2011 Ecuador 1 Sucre silver proof coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of the independence movement and honors Manuela Sáenz, one of the most remarkable figures of South American liberation history. Issued by the Republic of Ecuador, this commemorative piece pays tribute to the woman known as “La Libertadora del Libertador,” whose courage and political involvement played a significant role in the independence struggles alongside Simón Bolívar.

The obverse presents an elegant portrait of Manuela Sáenz in classical attire. Her hair is styled in a period headband and her dress is decorated with a rosette and flowing drapery. The inscription “La Libertadora del Libertador” appears beside the portrait, along with the year 2011 and her name engraved along the lower rim. The mirrored proof background highlights the refined details of her face, clothing, and the delicate sculptural lines of the design.

The reverse features the national coat of arms of Ecuador. At the center is an oval shield depicting the Chimborazo volcano and the Guayas River with a steamship symbolizing progress and commerce. Above the shield spreads the Andean condor with wings extended, while fasces, national flags, banners, and heraldic ornaments frame the emblem. The surrounding legend identifies the Republic of Ecuador and the denomination “Un Sucre.”

Struck in silver with a deep cameo proof finish and certified PCGS PR70 DCAM, this coin represents the highest collectible quality and combines historical importance, artistic elegance, and strong symbolism of Latin American independence.
