the 1861 Issue"), the distribution of the cuatro and ocho reales stamps was
approximately
120 cuatro reales black on yellow
9 cuatro reales dull rose on yellow
21 ocho reales black on brown
0 ocho reales green on brown
The Cuautitlan overprint is approximately 16½ by 2 mm, without dots. It's generally nicely struck.
