2021 Mongolian stamps threw me for a bit. When I started this article, only 3 stamps had been issued. That was way down from last year’s offerings. So I left this for a couple of weeks and BAM! Out popped more stamps. August and September represent everything I expect from Mongolia’s designers – strong visuals that dig deep into the almost endless well of culture and history of Mongolia coupled with a distinct artistic sensibility.
I wish I could put a name to the artists behind the stamps, but no luck in sourcing the identities. Sometimes an artist name can be found tucked into the design, but not with Mongolian stamps. I’ve contacted Mongolia’s post office in hopes of receiving some unpublished details. But so far, no luck.

Large collection of over 1600 works on ten great and small sciences of traditional Buddhism (philosophy, technology, logic, medicine, philology, astrology, model dance, poetics, Abhidarma, composition) created by ancient Indian and Tibetan scientists and panditas. It is the world’s only copy and an important part of intellectual heritage of humanity, which demonstrates remarkable traditional methods of Mongolians to create books by using precious stones. This sutra includes many pictures such as deities, human beings and animals namely birds, tigers, tortoise, finely painted in various colors, expressing the ideals of philosophy, beauty and mercy. It proves that ancient and medieval Mongolian artists understood profoundly the compassion of Buddhism and power of internal intelligence.

Congrats to whoever designed them!
I can see them in my collection buy i have to hold myself. I’m already going in too many direction.
Ah yea, I know what you mean. Everytime I post another country I tell myself “NO! You don’t need to collect more”.
It looks like you missed the final two issues of 2021. Issue 1093 commemorates the 150th anniversary of the birth of Jamsran Damdinsuren. It is an overprint on Scott 693 or Michel 730. It was issued on the 29th of December 2021. Then finally issue 1094, the 100th Anniversary of the Education sector in Mongolia issued on the 30th of December 2021. You can have a look at my website for the pictures of the stamps. I live in Mongolia and have been working with Mongol Post since 1995. At the moment I trying to get the program for 2022 out of Mongol Post. I will let you know once I have it.
OH AMAZING! How’s life in Mongolia? It’s one of the countries on my visit wish list.
Thanks for letting me know I missed a couple of stamps. That’s what happens when a person gets to eager to start the new year. Thanks for the link to your site http://ubstamps.com/ as well. . I’ll pop the missing stamps onto the page ASAP.
Love to see the 2022 program. Don’t suppose Mongol Post has info on designers? I’m quite taken with their artistic stylings and would love to post more.
Thanks for the info.
