Face value on the left of the shield stated only with letters. "...Thanks to the Postal Services law of April 29, 1865, a new system of insured letter stamps, unique to Colombia, to be used by the public to send money and valuables, was approved. The stamp paid both the basic postage rate and the insurance fee, complying also as registration and proof of delivery receipt. They are commonly called 'cubiertas' because they were affixed to the back of the cover to seal it after the contents was verified. Cubiertas were not sold to the public as stamps did. The sender bring the unsealed addressed envelope to the post office where an official verify the contents, fulfill all data in the cubierta and seal the envelope with it. Upon receipt the addressee has to open the envelope in the presence of a post officer, confirm the contents and acknowledge receipt signing the cubierta. Generally, the cubierta was cut or torn off from cover -reason why there are so few surviving covers and the poor condition of many "cubiertas"- and sent back to the origin post office where it was archived as proof of delivery.

A coat of arms is an heraldic visual design on an escutcheon (i.e. shield), surcoat, or tabard. The coat of arms on an escutcheon forms the central element of the full heraldic achievement which in its whole consists of shield, supporters, crest, and motto. A coat of arms is traditionally unique to an individual person, family (except in the United Kingdom), state, organisation or corporation.
A number is a mathematical object used to count, measure, and label. The most basic examples are the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth. Numbers can be represented in language with number words. More universally, individual numbers can be represented by symbols, called numerals; for example, "5" is a numeral that represents the number five. As only a relatively small number of symbols can be memorized, basic numerals are commonly organized in a numeral system, which is an organized way to represent any number. The most common numeral system is the Hindu–Arabic numeral system, which allows for the representation of any non-negative integer using a combination of ten fundamental numeric symbols, called digits. In addition to their use in counting and measuring, numerals are often used for labels (as with telephone numbers), for ordering (as with serial numbers), and for codes (as with ISBNs). In common usage, a numeral is not clearly distinguished from the number that it represents.
