Revolutionary Issue for the southern and eastern parts of Colombia.
Genuine: Lithographed on very thin, yellowish -White wove paper. The shield is divided into three portions, the
central one only being white. The upper portion of the shield contains two horns of plenty, their mouths turned towards each other, and an unknown thing between them, which is of an oval shape, with an oblique line in the centre of it. This upper portion is shaded with nine horizontal lines on the left side, and eight on the right side, counting the bottom line in each case. The central portion contains a cap of Liberty on a pole. The lower portion contains an isthmus, with a ship on each side of it, though the said ships are represented merely by blotches. The left top corner of the shield is a good deal higher and more pointed than the right top corner. The portion of sea above the isthmus extends rather further to the right than to the left of the shield, and the portion of sea below the isthmus entirely fills up the lower point of the shield. The oval band outside the shield contains, at the bottom, nine eightpointed
asterisks or stars, the points being tolerably easy to count. The cross-stroke of the "t" of "ESTADOS" is very short, and is of equal length each side of the perpendicular stroke. The word "de" at the top of the oval is in very small capitals, and is placed in the centre of the top. The lines in the shaded ground, outside this oval, are
rather inclined to be blotchy, and are difficult to count. There ought to be fifteen in the right-hand top corner, sixteen in the lefthand top corner, fourteen in the right-hand bottom corner, and sixteen in the left-hand bottom corner, counting the outer line in each case. These lines do not form a very reliable test; because they are inclined to be blotchy,and the two top lines and two bottom lines often run together;however, I give them as they will be found on good specimens of the genuine. The second "o" of "correos" is a transverse oval, but not so markedly as the "o" of "nacionales". The letters of the outer inscription are tall and thin, and moderately regular ; those of the inner inscription are thinner, and a little taller, and more regular. - Buy Now:

Letter "A" in a leaved wreath.
Apparently typographed on thin wove paper of a very grey tint. There is a stop after the "E" and "U", and the stop of "CENTS" is not exactly under the "S", but much nearer to the "T".
There are eight very distinct berries on the left-hand branch, at varying distances. The point of one of the leaves touches the "C" of CORREOS, and the side of another leaf almost touches the first "R" of that word. The "E" of "DE" is distinctly over the middle of the top leaf on the left-hand side. The top leaf on the right-hand side is blunter than the corresponding one on the left, but not very much so. There are eight oblique lines of shading in the triangular hollow of the "A",
twenty below the cross-bar, seventeen down the right-hand side, eighteen on the left foot, and twenty-four on the right foot. The base of the "5" is at some distance from the leaf to the left of it. - Buy Now:

- Letter "R" in a star.
Forgeries exist.
Tolerably well printed, on very thin, greywhite, wove paper. In the inscription there is a dash after the "E.", a very short dash, almost
like a full stop, after the "U.", and no other stops. The "C" of COLOMBIA is a "C", and does not touch the outline of the star below it. The "S" of NACIONALES is very near the outline of
the star, but does not actually touch it. The centre of the star has a pattern in black and white, behind the "R", like horizontal courses of brickwork ; and there are thirty-two of these horizontal courses. The "R" has been drawn too big for the circle which ought to contain
it, and therefore the part of the brickwork behind the tail of the "R" is bulged out very considerably, so far, indeed, that it touches the bottom of the "5" in the right-hand lower corner, and thus totally destroys the outline of the central circle. There is a very thin line running all round the inside of the white outline of the large "R", and this line goes almost to the very end of the tail of the said letter. All the letters of the inscription are thin, and none of them are blotched. - Buy Now:

Printed on thick, white wove paper, the face of which is surface-coloured a bright green, and highly glazed. The condor has a head just like a goose, and the eye is placed absurdly far back, quite at the back of the head in fact. The backgrounds, both inside and outside the oval, are extremely dark, so that the oval shows up very prominently. Most of the curly lines round the oval are separate from each other; indeed, on the right-hand side, towards the bottom, every curl is distinctly separate from its neighbours.
There is a stop after "E.", another after "U.", another after COLOMBIA., and a very faint cross-shaped blotch after NACIONALES. The right-hand branch crosses distinctly over the left one, and has ten leaves on it. The left-hand branch has nine leaves. - Buy Now:

The genuine stamp is nicely lithographed in black on rather thin, coloured wove paper. The large 2 of 2½ has a solid top with a dot in the centre. The solid band or label bearing the inscriptions is divided into three parts by faint lines. One of these lines is under CO of CORREOS, another is under S of NALES, and the third is under the S of CENTS. Both limbs of each U of UU. are of equal thickness. - Buy Now:
