Монгол улс (Mongolia)

Here is my first cover from Mongolia, which I wasn't even expecting! Although it is rather boring and not of much aesthetic value, I think it's a good start. What surprises me is that the stamp used on the cover seems very much like your average CTO stampsand I wouldn't have thought twice about classifying it as one had it not been used on this cover.

The postmark is also not all that great; the date is unintelligible and all I could make out was the word "Mongol" written in the Russian alphabet (Russian since there is a strong Russian influence in the country's history).

The Mongolian characters for Mongolia are shown below:

I do not feel like looking deeper into the theme and exploring the story behind since I feel there is a lack thereof, considering that the 1909 Packard probably did not have much to do with Mongolian history and culture.

This time, I think it would suffice just to celebrate the fact that I have received a cover from an exotic location!
