It so chanced
that the doubloon of the Pequod was a
most wealthy example of these things. On
its round border it
bore the letters,
REPUBLICA
DEL ECUADOR: QUITO.
So this bright coin
came from a country planted in the
middle of the world, and beneath the great
equator, and named after it; and it had been cast midway up the Andes, in the unwaning clime
that knows no autumn. Zoned by those letters you saw the likeness of three Andes’ summits; from one a flame; a tower on another; on
the third a crowing cock; while arching over all was a segment of the partitioned zodiac, the signs all marked with their usual cabalistics, and the keystone sun entering
the equinoctial point at Libra.
