    1868: Lecoq 1 d. green, a single example with wide margin at left, used in combination with Llama 1866/67 20 c. brown on 1870 mourning envelope to Coruña, Spain, each tied by "Lima" cds (June 27) struck in blue. Reverse with British P.O. 'Callao' cds in black (June 27) and London transit (July 27) in red. Charged '20 Rs." in red as due upon arrival (Aug 2). Some wrinkling at edges of envelope but a remarkable and scarce mised issue franking to a surprisingly unusual destination.
