Stocks of the 16-centavo Magellan's Landing stamps were reportedly sold out by January 10, 1943, so the next day January 11 a new 16-centavo provisional was issued.

This time the 30-centavo Blood Compact stamp with small COMMONWEALTH overprint was surcharged with deleting bars covering UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, COMMONWEALTH and THIRTY. Printing quantity: one source says 210,000 and another says 300,000.16 centavos was the rate for registered mail.
