Cover (Back)

Cover (Front)
Such a beautiful cover with so many stamps on the front and back. To my suprise some countries allow stamps to be put on the back. If my memory serves me correctly, it is forbidden by the UPU regulations. Hope my readers will comment on this. Anyway, I still love the cover alot. Sadly one of the stamps at the back of the cover was damaged. When will our Postal Service improve?

PS: Dear friend, looking forward to more friendly exchanges with u. Till then, take care and gbu.
