El Oro (
Spanish pronunciation:
[el ˈoɾo]
(
listen
)
;
oro
=
gold
) is the southernmost of
Ecuador
's coastal
provinces
. It was named for its historically important
gold
production. Today it is one of the world's major exporters of
bananas
. The capital is
Machala
.
The area was settled by the Inca, who inhabited the area at the time Spanish settlement began in 1549. The Spanish found gold there and mined it, carrying the gold to Spain. The province was named for its historically important gold production.
The gold was mined by the Spanish mainly in the late 16th and 17th centuries in the village of
Zaruma
in the
Zaruma Canton
. In the 18th century, the earthquake of January 1749 destroyed the mining area. A local rebellion stopped the mining until the Spanish agreed to allow the native people to benefit from the mining. Spain imported gold from the area until the area gained its independence from Spain in 1820.
Philip II of Spain
granted the village the title of "Villa de Sant Antonio del Zerro de Oro de Zaruma" (Villa Real de San Antonio del Cerro de Oro de Zaruma on October 17, 1593, as he was appreciative of the gold.
After 1820, Ecuador emerged as an independent nation, as neighboring areas to Zaruma also declared their independence. In 1882, the province of El Oro was formed by the villages of Zaruma, Machala and Santa Rosa, with Zaruma as its capital, and the area’s gold mining as the reason for the name of the province. Two years later, the capital of the province was moved to
Machala
. Gold mining continued under various mining companies, which now paid taxes to the government for the gold they mined.
As gold mining fell in value, El Oro province became the major area of banana production in Ecuador.
Peru invaded and occupied most of El Oro province during the
Ecuadorian–Peruvian War
of 1941

The definition of artistamp is as followed:
DEFINITION OF ARTISTAMPS
The term
artistamp
(a
portmanteau
of the words "artist" and "stamp") or
artist's stamp
refers to a
postage stamp
-like art form used to depict or
commemorate
any subject its creator chooses. Artistamps are a form of
Cinderella stamps
in that they are not valid for postage, but they differ from
forgeries
or bogus
Illegal stamps
in that typically the creator has no intent to defraud
postal authorities
or
stamp collectors
.
Artistamp creators often include their work on legitimate mail, alongside valid postage stamps, in order to decorate the envelope with their art. In many countries this practice is legal, provided the artistamp isn't passed-off as or likely to be mistaken for a genuine postage stamp. When so combined (and sometimes, less strictly speaking, even when not so) the artistamp may be considered part of the
mail art
genre.
Irony
,
satire
,
humor
,
eroticism
and subversion of governmental authority are frequent characteristics of artistamps. Artists may leverage the expectation of official endorsement that necessarily inheres in governmentally-issued postage for the purpose of shocking or subverting viewers' expectations, with such actions typically representing a specific political and artistic motive. Other practitioners are content to depict more homey subjects like kittens and family members. Some artists use the form create fantasy stamps for their own
postal administrations
or
countries
– in many cases thereby developing or complementing an imaginary
governmental system
.
DEFINITION OF CINDERELLAS
In
philately
, a
cinderella stamp
is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration..."
[1]
The term also excludes
imprinted stamps
on
postal stationery
.
