    1825c.: Large cover prepaid from Antioquia to Medellin with notation of weight on obverse "13½ oz." and rate '54' reales, struck with straight line "ANTIOQVIA" handstamp (Tizón fig. 1 = RR) with "FRANCA" below, both in red (fig. 3 = RRR). The cover was then used back to Antioquia from Medellin, this time unpaid, and struck with oval framed "REPUB. DE COLOMBIA / MEDELLIN / DEBE" in red with the weight altered to "15¾ oz" on reverse and charged "63" reales due. Edge wear and file fold do not detract from an extraordinary cover.
