    1862: Lecoq 1 d. vermilion, a single example used on 22 October 1865 entire letter from Lima to Santander, Spain; the letter delayed due to the 'Guano War' and the consequent blockade of the Port of Callao after War was initially declared by Chile on September 15, 1865. Franked for internal rate and tied by 'Lima' cds in black (Nov 28) with framed "FRANCA" at left (Lamy & Rinck fig. 113), the entire was evidently carried home by a Spanish Man-of-War as no other markings are present except for the "8.R" due marking in red. Some overall soiling but very rare.rnNote: The 'Guano' War or Chincha Islands War, was a series of coastal and naval battles between Spain and its former colonies of Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Bolivia from 1865 to 1866. Even before Chile and Peru were formally allied, Spain had suffered a humiliating naval defeat at the naval Battle of Papudo on November 26, 1865 where the Chilean corvette Esmeralda captured the Spanish schooner Covadonga, taking the crew prisoner and seizing the admiral's war correspondence. Peru declared war on Spain on January 12, 1866.

    1862: Lecoq 1 d. rose, a diagonally bisected example used on 1866 cover to Lima, tied by "Callao" circular datestamp (Feb 10) in black with framed "LIMA / 1A. / DISTRB.ON" handstamp alongside in blue.

There being no stamps, as yet, to meet this need, the 1 dinero was bisected.rnrn
