History
History
The government of Bangladesh issued the first 1-taka note on 4 March 1972. This initial series, known as the "Map Series," featured a map of Bangladesh on the obverse and guilloche patterns with the denomination in Bengali ("১") on the reverse. This series remained in circulation until it ceased to be legal tender on 30 March 1974. Subsequent series introduced new designs. A later version depicted a hand holding paddy rice on the obverse and the National emblem of Bangladesh on the reverse. Security features included a watermark of a Royal Bengal Tiger's head and a security thread.
Current status
Current status
The 1-taka note remains legal tender in Bangladesh, but its circulation has declined due to the increased use of 1-taka coins. The Security Printing Corporation (Bangladesh) Ltd. has been responsible for printing this note since 1988.
