Printed in vivid rose and magenta tones, this ten taka banknote unites the memory of Bangladesh’s independence struggle with the spiritual and civic architecture of Dhaka through a compact yet symbolically dense modern circulation design.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
The obverse features Sheikh Mujibur Rahman beside the National Martyrs’ Memorial in Savar, rising sharply in geometric perspective beneath finely layered guilloché patterns. The composition balances portraiture with national remembrance, transforming the memorial’s angular structure into a visual axis of sacrifice, independence, and state identity. Delicate security elements and luminous pink underprints soften the otherwise monumental atmosphere, giving the note a distinctly contemporary appearance within Bangladesh’s long-running taka series.
Reverse
On the reverse, the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque appears in broad frontal perspective, its austere modernist form framed by ornamental borders and open architectural space. Unlike the historical mosque imagery of earlier Bangladeshi notes, this composition emphasizes the civic and institutional character of religion within the nation’s capital. The symmetrical water reflection and restrained monochromatic palette reinforce the calm visual rhythm that defines the design.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this ten taka issue signed by Dr. Atiur Rahman represents an important transitional stage in Bangladesh’s modern low-denomination circulation series. Its combination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the National Martyrs’ Memorial, and the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque creates a powerful visual dialogue between political memory, national identity, and religious architecture, making the note especially appealing to collectors of modern South Asian banknotes and post-independence symbolism.
