The 1000 Sucres 1988 banknote was issued by the Banco Central del Ecuador, during a period of high inflation in the country.
On the obverse, it features a portrait of Eugenio Espejo (1747–1795), a physician, writer, and key intellectual precursor of Ecuador’s independence.
The reverse depicts the Banco Central del Ecuador headquarters in Quito, a recurring motif on several sucre notes of the time.
Printed on cotton paper, the note includes a watermark of the bank’s emblem and basic security details typical of the 1980s series.
Dimensions: 157 × 67 mm.
