Who's the handsome chap on the obverse? Looks like he has a built in slot for a pair of pince-nez.
That would be Antonio Jose de Sucre (1795-1830), for whom the Ecuadorian currency was named until they adopted the US Dollar in 2000. He was a pretty big deal in South American circles back in the day.

1916 Ecuador Two Decimos, minted in Philadelphia. Even says so on the reverse. PCGS MS66 pop 1/0.

I was wondering how long it would take to see the proud P mintmark!
@Zoins .... It was sitting right next to me on the cabinet shelf.... If I had to go search for it, well... would have been a while...

That Ecuadorian Coin with Philadelphia on the reverse makes me say "Sucre Bleau"
Pardon my French.

No idea of the date. And no, it does not glow in the dark.
