With an high population density and yet a high risk for flooding and other environmental hazards, BANGLADESH is located east of India and south of India's eastward extension of land. It also has a border with Myanmar in the southeastern part of the country. This coin set, bought from Allens, Inc., has several FAO coins that are odd-shaped. On my blog, I label FAO coins and odd-shaped coins with the post labels * FAO Coins and * Odd-Shaped Coins. Some coins in this Bangladeshi coin set indeed fit into both post labels! The obverse designs of the coins, in the top right image, feature Bangladesh's national emblem. In the top left image, the reverse sides show the denomination and design elements, which differ from coin to coin. The language on the coins is Bangladeshi. The English language, which is used along with Bangladeshi for the denomination, is only seen on two coins above: the obverse of the 1 Taka, which is the middle left coin in the right image; and the reverse of the 5 Taka, which is the bottom right coin in the left image.
FAO Coins in the Set
The square 5 Poisha coin commemorates agriculture and industry with a tractor, gear, and tool. The slightly octagonal (8-sided) 50 Poisha, the top right coin located in the left image, commemorates food production by featuring a chicken, pineapple, banana, and fish. An engraving of a family is featured on both the scalloped 10 Poisha (coin with 8 'waves') and 1 Taka coins. These coin designs signify the importance of family planning, which could slow down the exponential population growth of Bangladesh.
Other Coins in the Set
The 5 Taka coin features the Jamuna Bridge, a majestically long bridge that spans the Jamuna River in North-Central Bangladesh. The top left coin in the left image is the 1 Poisha, which features the denomination in the center. Encircling the denomination is Bangladeshi text and an ornamental ring. Lastly, the bottom left coin in the left image is the 25 Poisha, whose centerpiece design is a Bengal tiger surrounded by Bangladeshi text and the year.
