    1871 (March 1): First Issue 1 c. ochre and 5 c. bistre-brown, used on 1871 entire letter from Guatemala City to Finca Venecia, Mazatenango cancelled by unclear '1' numeral obliterator in black with "Correos / Guatemala" despatch cds at left (Dec 30). Despite some overall toning and soiling, a very rare entire used in the first ten months of issue prior to the 'Reales' currency being reintroduced on 26 January 1872. A rarity of the first issue with just a handful of covers recorded (see Goodman page 52). Cert. BPA (2021).
