    1861 (Probably issued April 1862): 4 reales dull rose-red on yellow, without District name overprint, Plate 1, the marvellous mint block of six with enormous margins all round and sheet marginal at right. Two minor horizontal creases barely perceptible on face, the block of exceptional freshness and colour and of extreme rarity - only two larger multiples exist (a block of nine in the Jaretzky collection, most probably from the same sheet and a stained defective block of nine ex the Mazepa collection). Exceptional quality for this rarity and an Exhibition item. Cert. Jaretzky (1988).
