🇧🇩 Bangladesh First 1 Taka Note | বাংলাদেশের প্রথম Map Note (1972) Full Story

📝 Description

Keeping this note in my collection was a long-time dream of mine, and today that dream finally came true. This is the first banknote of Bangladesh — the historic 1 Taka “Map Note” issued in 1972 🇧🇩

In this video, I am sharing the full history and details of Bangladesh’s first ever banknote. After independence, Bangladesh needed its own currency identity, and this 1 Taka note became a powerful symbol of a new nation’s beginning.

This note, widely known as the “Map Note,” features the map of Bangladesh on the front side and represents the early financial history of our country. It was printed in India Security Press, Nashik and circulated during the early years of independence.

For collectors, this is not just a note — it is a priceless piece of history, emotion, and national pride.

🇧🇩 Bangladesh First 1 Taka Note | বাংলাদেশের প্রথম Map Note (1972) ...

14/05/2026

Keeping this note in my collection was a long-time dream of mine, and today that dream finally came true. This is the first banknote of Bangladesh — the first 1 Taka note. 🇧🇩 To a collector, such a historic note is not just a piece of paper, but a priceless part of the nation’s history and memories.

▪️ Bangladesh’s First “Map Note” – 1 Taka 🇧🇩
This was the first issued 1 Taka banknote of Bangladesh, released on 4 March 1972. Among collectors, it is widely known as the “Map Note” because the front side features a map of Bangladesh. After independence, this note represented an important and historic currency issue for the newly formed nation. According to Numista, the note measured 98 × 63 mm and was printed on paper using the lithography printing method. It was printed at the India Security Press, Nashik, and was withdrawn on 30 March 1974.

The front side of the note displays the map of Bangladesh along with the words “Government of Bangladesh” in both Bangla and English, as well as a black serial number. The reverse side contains decorative guilloché patterns with the text “One Taka / এক টাকা” in Bangla and English. Interestingly, this note had no watermark or security thread. According to Bangladesh Bank, it was printed urgently for quick circulation, and later replaced with a new design for security reasons.

This note bears the signature of K. A. Zaman, the then Finance Secretary of the Government of Bangladesh. Unlike higher denomination banknotes issued by Bangladesh Bank, the 1 Taka note was issued directly by the Government of Bangladesh.

To a collector, this note is not just currency — it is a priceless historical symbol from the beginning of independent Bangladesh. ✨

আমার সংগ্রহে থাকা পাকিস্তানের এই ১০ রুপির পুরনো নোটটি মূলত ১৯৭৬ থেকে ১৯৮২ সালের মধ্যবর্তী সময়ে প্রচলিত ছিল। নোটটির প্রধান আকর্ষণ হলো এর পেছনে থাকা সিন্ধু সভ্যতার বিখ্যাত প্রত্নতাত্ত্বিক নিদর্শন ‘মহেঞ্জোদারো’ (Mohenjo-daro)-এর দৃশ্য। সিন্ধু প্রদেশের লারকানা জেলায় অবস্থিত এই প্রাচীন নগরীটি প্রায় ৫,০০০ বছরের পুরনো এক উন্নত সভ্যতার ঐতিহাসিক পরিচয় বহন করে।

নোটটির সামনের অংশে রয়েছে পাকিস্তানের প্রতিষ্ঠাতা মুহাম্মদ আলী জিন্নাহর প্রতিকৃতি। ঐতিহাসিক ও নান্দনিক বৈশিষ্ট্যের এই বড় সাইজের নোটগুলো ২০০৬ সালে আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে বাজার থেকে তুলে নেওয়া হয়।

▪️ পাকিস্তানের ১ রুপি নোট
এই নোটটির এক পাশে পাকিস্তানের জাতীয় কবি আল্লামা ইকবালের মাজার (লাহোর) এর প্রতিচ্ছবি রয়েছে। নিচে উর্দুতে লেখা আছে “حصولِ رزقِ حلال عبادت ہے”, যার অর্থ হলো হালাল উপায়ে জীবিকা অর্জন করাও ইবাদতের সমতুল্য।
