Traces of o.g., margins close; small thin and pinhole, Fine appearance, the 8r Black on Green were printed in parallel to the 8r Black on Brown to combat the illegal use of splits from six larger districts and sent only to those, at the end of the issue with the central post office in disarray, the small balance of the 8r Green stamps on hand was sent in small amounts to 16 other districts including Campeche, all these are rarities, with 2016 M.E.P.S.I. certificate.

The original records of issued stamps do not specify the breakdown between 8r Black and 8r Green.
