- Variety: with star after "CENT" (SN CO 29a).
Lithographed on thin wove paper, rather hard, and usually with a very slight surface-tint of the same colour as the stamp ; and also on blue paper.
Both of the cornucopiae in the top compartment of the shield have blunt, rounded outer ends, very nearly touching the sides of the shield, and neither of them curling downwards more than the other. Each of them isdisgorging pieces of money, which are tolerably distinct. The flower standing up between them, and separating them from each other, is apparently a tulip, almost closed, and leaning over to the right.
The cap of Liberty in the central compartment is large and distinct, and is shaded all over with oblique lines, running from the right downwards to the left. The tassel or top of the cap bends over to the left, and hangs down level with the bottom of the part
which is supposed to go on the head. The pole which bears the cap gets suddenly wider towards the top. The bend of the cap just touches the transverse line above it. Two parallel lines close together separate the top compartment of the shield from the second, and two similar lines, equally close together, separate the second
compartment from the bottom one. The peaked part at the centre of the top of the shield is a good deal higher than the corners. Above the shield there are nine six-pointed stars, arranged in two rows, the upper row curving upwards in the centre, the lower row curving downwards in the centre, so that the whole looks like a
narrow, transverse, oval ring of stars. The leaves in the two branches of the wreath are unmistakable oak-leaves, and they are all shaded more or less all over with oblique lines running from the
left downwards towards the right. The point of the lowest leaf on the left-hand side touches the corner of the inner frame, just under the letter "E" of "E.U. DE", etc. The side of the top leaf but one in the right-hand branch touches the frame very distinctly, beside the "I" of "Nacionales". The "S" of this latter word is exactly level with the "E" of "E.U. DE", etc., on the opposite side. There is an eight-pointed
star or asterisk at the top of the frame between "COLOMBIA" and "CORREOS". The bottom end of the right-hand branch, which crosses over to the left, is nearer to the line below it than the corresponding bottom end of the left-hand branch which crosses under it to the right. - Buy Now:

- Coat of Arms on coloured background.
Three varieties exist.
Lithographed on thin, white wove paper. The shield, and the arms on it, are exactly the same as in the genuine stamps of the 1863 issue; and, as before, there are two distinct thin parallel lines separating the top compartment of the shield from the second, and two similar ones separating the second from the third. What seemed like a single leaf at the bottom of the lefthand branch in the 1863 issue is now evidently double ; i.e., one leaf laid over another, and partly covering it. The dark outline of that part of the front leaf which overlaps the other is scalloped, and
shows four scallops or waves, whilst the leaf behind it has no dark outline, and the edge visible has only one faint indentation in it. This latter leaf almost
touches the corner of the frame beside the "E" of "E.U. DE.."; and the corresponding leaf of the righthand
branch almost touches the corner of the frame between "E" and "S" of NACIONALES, but is not quite so close. The bottom end of the left-hand branch crosses under the other, and points towards the ornament outside the right-hand bottom corner of the frame ; and
the bottom end of the right-hand branch crosses over, and points more towards the bottom of the stamp ; i.e., at the figure or figures of value. All the outer leaves of the left-hand branch almost or quite touch the frame, and the outer leaves of the right-hand branch are very close to the frame also. There is, as in the 1863 issue, an
eight-pointed asterisk at the top of the frame, which is equally distant from the "A" of COLOMBIA and the "C" of CORREOS. The "E" and "S" of NACIONALES are not joined together, and the "S" is level with the "E" of "E.U.", on the opposite side of the frame. There is a small oblong mark in each of the seas of the isthmus to represent ships. - Buy Now:
