    100 r. green, the sensational usage with a block of 47 on reverse of March 1879 registered cover to Paris, used in combination with 10 r. vermilion (which does not in this describer's opinion belong), 20 r. pale violet pair, 80 r. lake and 260 r. deep brown all tied by dotted segmented handstamps in black. The 100 reis block from the upper right corner of the sheet with 'American Bank Note Co. New York' imprints at top and at right. Obverse with RIO DE JANEIRO cds in (March 22) and oval REGISTRADO in red with 'Bresil / Amb. Calais B.' entry mark (April 17) in black. Despite the added 10 r. in place of a probable 20 r. (rate of 5'090 reis not possible) at lower right, a fantastic usage of the largest known multiple on or off cover.
