    30 reis black, Early Impression, two examples used on reverse of an 1844 cover from Ouro Preto to Queleuz, the right hand stamp cut round and the left hand stamp truncated in octagonal fashion, tied by I.C. DO OURO PRETO / CORREIO GERAL DE MINAS datestamp (Ayres 1617) in black (June 15, 1844). Both stamps have faults and have been removed from the letter-sheet and replaced over the flap, one slightly out of original position. However this is the sole known usage of the 30 reis Bull's Eye on cover from Ouro Preto, the only Juchert recorded cover bearing a single 60 reis. Cert. Moorhouse (2013).
