About this banknote
The Banco Central del Ecuador issued the 5000 sucres banknote in 1999. This series was introduced amidst a period of significant economic turmoil as Ecuador faced a financial crisis that year. The rapid devaluation of the sucre eventually led to the adoption of the U.S. dollar in 2000.
The front side of the banknote features a portrait of Juan Montalvo, an influential Ecuadorian writer. The back side showcases a Galápagos tortoise and a pair of Galápagos cormorants, highlighting Ecuador's unique biodiversity. This note is cataloged as Pick 128 and is printed in brown and blue colors.
