    1865/70: 2 r. yellow, a quadrisected usage to pay the ½ r. real rate, used on 1868 cover from La Guaira to the British Legation in Caracas, endorsed 'per. Correo June 1' at lower left, tied by circular undated "CORREOS / LA GUAIRA." handstamp in black. File fold through the adhesive but a great rarity - this was not a sanctioned issue but used to defraud the Posts, probably with the connivance of the La Guaira Postmaster. Cert. RPSL (1969).
