San Luis Potosí 1856, 8r. Lilac quadrisect, and 1861 2r. Black on Rose, bisect, creating a remarkable combination of two splits used together on piece, tied by San Luis Potosí postmark. Since the 8r. was demonetized, this item represents an extraordinary provisional usage, with fewer than five examples recorded. MEPSI certificate. Scott 5d, 8b.
