    5 c. rose, wmk. 'RA', perf. 11½, semi-clear printing, used with vertical pair of 10 c. green (also from a semi-clear printing) on 1864 cover to Rosario at quintuple rate, all tied by neat 'Buenos Aires' datestamps (Dec 1) struck in blue. A fine and very scarce franking: it is interesting to note that combinations of the 5 c. and 10 c. are almost as rare as combinations between the 10 c. and 15 c. on letter. Cert. Moorhouse (2016).

    Provenance: Collection Diaz/Mercedes, Corinphila sale 66 (June 1981), lot 7198; Collection Sànchez, Corinphila sale 69 (Oct 1982), lot 8096.
