Owner Comments:
As with Mexico City, Lima did not receive the matricies to produce the stamps for the new king's portrait and substituted an imaginary bust. The mintage for the 1808 imaginary bust variety was very low, compared to normal production volumes and thus quite scarce in any condition.
Raw eBay purchase in January 2014.
