Explore the Bangladesh 5 Taka ND [1972] P-7 Note
A Relic from the Birth of Bangladesh
Secure a rare piece of the first-ever currency series issued by an independent Bangladesh. This 1972 5 Taka "Map" note was part of the emergency currency issue released just months after the country’s victory in the Liberation War. Because these notes were printed quickly to replace the Pakistani Rupee, they remained in circulation for less than a year, making them highly prized today.

-
