One it almost certainly wasn't cast it was struck. Two the hit at 12:00 on the reverse happened post strike and the coin circulated quite a bit after the hit occured.

Nice looking Ecuador coin. It is a 2 reales, minted in 1835 with the assayers' initials, GJ (Guillermo Jameson). It is KM# 14 and in VF condition catalogs at $70. No mintage statistics are availakle in the World Coins catalog.

It seems that this type of 2 reales are always in low grade and the date after 1836 are nicer than before.However,the type after 1836 is a different type,the words are different.This type El Ecuador de Colombia is poor struck than other type.The coin shows on the World Coins catalog also Lower than XF···So I think the XF for this kind of coin is different to the others.

Gracias,

Matteo
