Mongolia stamps

P=have O=don’t have it

Mongolia is a landlocked country in East and Central Asia. It borders Russia to the north and People's Republic of China to the south, east and west. Although Mongolia does not share a border with Kazakhstan, its western-most point is only a few miles from Kazakhstan's eastern tip. Ulan Bator, the capital and largest city, is home to about 38% of the population. Mongolia's political system is a parliamentary republic.

The area of what is now Mongolia has been ruled by various nomadic empires, including the Xiongnu, the Xianbei, the Rouran, the Gökturks, and others. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan in 1206. After the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols returned to their earlier patterns. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Mongolia came under the influence of Tibetan Buddhism. At the end of the 17th century, most of Mongolia had been incorporated into the area ruled by the Qing Dynasty. During the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Mongolia declared independence, but had to struggle until 1921 to firmly establish de-facto independence, and until 1945 to gain international recognition. As a consequence, it came under strong Russian and Soviet influence: In 1924, the Mongolian People's Republic was declared, and Mongolian politics began to follow the same patterns as Soviet politics of the time. After the breakdown of communist regimes in Eastern Europe in late 1989, Mongolia saw its own Democratic Revolution in early 1990, which led to a multi-party system, a new constitution in 1992, and the - rather rough - transition to a market economy.

At 1,564,116 square kilometres, Mongolia is the nineteenth largest and most sparsely populated independent country in the world, with a population of around 2.9 million people. It is also the world's second-largest landlocked country after Kazakhstan. The country contains very little arable land, as much of its area is covered by steppes, with mountains to the north and west and the Gobi Desert to the south. Approximately 30% of the country's 2.9 million people are nomadic or semi-nomadic. The predominant religion in Mongolia is Tibetan Buddhism, and the majority of the state's citizens are of the Mongol ethnicity, though Kazakhs, Tuvans and other minorities also live in the country, especially in the west.

Lou wrote: Mongolia Sc #C43 actually illustrates a non-existent stamp. It has the design of Cuba Sc #883 but the colors of Sc #884 without the silver imprint.

With all the Cuba stamps with a post and communications theme he could have chosen from, the designer picked the 1964 Postal Rocket Flight stamp on stamp (Sc #883), probably because it reproduced the stamp used for the first officially sanctioned rocket mail delivery, but had a problem in that the black stamp would not show up well inside a black frame. His solution was to change the colors of the stamp by using those of the Voshkod I Rocket Flight commemorative (Sc #884), which was the same design with XXV ANIVERSARIO removed and a silver rocket and inscriptions added. Actually, he might have been able to use #883 with just a little “tweaking” to outline the perfs in the black portions of the stamp.

Mongolia revenue - #22 without ovpt

Lou wrote: Above you can see the Mongolia unlisted revenue stamp as shown on the S/S and Mongolia #22 with the POSTAGE overprint which should have been reproduced. In fairness, the overprint can be found so faint in color that it appears to be omitted. I’d like to think that the stamp the designer used is an example of this.

I bought the # 22 (an expensive stamp) first, and it looked so “wrong” in my display, that I bought the revenue stamp when I found one at a show, so that I could show both examples. They also show off the color variances of the issue. I think you should have both on the site also.

The designer did not show the actual stamps, probably because the small overprinted stamps would not reproduce well.

In my databases, I included them as design components and feel they should be on the sites too.
