Two singles, Types C and E, large margins all around, bright shade, used with 1859 1p Red (8), large margins, cancelled by two strikes of red "HUALGC" Hualgayoc straightline on judicial wrapper to the President of the Supreme Court in Trujillo, oval judicial coat of arms handstamp at lower left, docketed with Apr. 6, 1859 date, part of cover cut away, sealed tear at top

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE COMBINATION OF THE 1858 MEDIO PESO AND ONE-PESETA 1859 ISSUE. PROBABLY A UNIQUE FRANKING.

The Medio Peso was declared unnecessary by the decree of June 18, 1858, and the remainders were destroyed. For this reason it is a very scarce stamp, especially on cover. This is the only known combination of the 1858 Medio Peso and the subsequent issue. The franking is exactly half of the postage on the cover in lot 280 from the same judicial correspondence.
