    1884: "Rail Bond", a complete form (355 x 430 mm.) for the years 1884-1893, for public funding of President Barrios's scheme for the building of the "Northern Railroad" from Guatemala City to the Caribbean, stamped up with four examples of the unoverprinted 1 peso vermilion each handstamped PAGADO in violet (one stamp missing).

Goodman records five first issue covers with the 1 centavo adhesive, including this example, however a further example has come to light (F-W Lange collection) since the handbook was published; of these six covers just three were used in the 'decimal' period (March 1 1871 until January 26, 1872) prior to Guatemala reverting to their former currency in January 1872 and there are only two recorded 6 centavo internal frankings.
