    1872: 1 peseta orange-yellow, a diagonally bisected example used on 1876 cover to Lima tied by neat CUZCO cds in black (Nov 25). Reverse with Lima arrival cds (Dec 6); also a small piece with a diagonal 1 p. bisect tied by scarce dotted CARAVELI handstamp (Emsing E1 =100 pts). Scarce usages: the bisecting of the 1 peseta was authorised due to a shortage of the Llama issue 10 c. value from September 1876 until December 1877. Cert. Holcombe (1988) and PF (1992) Scott = $ 1'100+.rnProvenance: Collection Salomon Rosenthal.
