Arequipa Michel #V, 1 peso revenue used for postage.  Used multiples of the one peso stamp used for postage are rare and this strip of 4 is unique--the largest multiple known.  The strip is tied to a mourning piece with 3N7 and all are tied by an unrecorded AYACUCHO 1883 fancy cancel in blue and a fancy cork cancel.  The total franking of 4.10 soles indicates the piece was taken from a very heavy packet.  A real show piece.
