The Federal State of Antioquia was part of the Granadine Confederation which included Columbia, Panama and small areas of Brazil. They issued their own postage stamps between 1868-1906.
Those shown in the previous post were issued in 1899 as inscribed in the value and show the President Jose Maria Cordoba.

Again, perusing the Index at the back of every Scott catalogue for "Antioquia" would provide the answer of where to look in the catalogue for those stamps. The greater majority of all the questions for stamp IDs would be answered quickly by using the catalogue as a tool, and not just a picture book.

Postage stamps and postal history of Antioquia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antioquia was one of the states in the original "United States of Colombia", and is now a department in the northwest of the Republic of Colombia. Prior to the constitution of 1886, Antioquia and the other states were sovereign governments in their own right, and even afterwards retained some rights, such as the management of finances.

Postage stamps
Antioquia became a sovereign state in 1858, by recognition as Estado de la Federación in the constitution of the Granadine Confederation. Antioquia issued its first postage stamps on September 1 1868. A postal exchange agreement with the sovereign state of Bolívar was established a few years later. With the Constitution of 1886, the sovereign state became a department, along with all the other states of Colombia, but they continued with their postal services and stamps until 1906, when the national government took over all the services previously performed by the departments.
The small quantity of stamps issued, the lithographic printing and the variety of papers used make Antioquia a very special and interesting area of Colombian philately. With many stamps no complete sheet exists and with some stamps the largest multiple is only a pair. There was often a very small quantity of stamps printed, only 258 of some and no more than 1,000 of others. Covers of that period are even scarcer than the classic Colombian covers that are recorded.
Only very few hand stamps (postal markings) were used, and most stamps were cancelled in manuscript with the name of the town of origin.
Wikipedia provides illustrations of several typicat Antioquan stamps.
