(en)

The four stars obverse representing the four principles of the first constitution of Bangladesh in 1972: nationalism, secularism, socialism, and democracy.

The Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge is also known as the Bangabandhu Bridge. Its length is 5.63 km over the river Padma.

Varieties:

The three KM subtypes are most easily understood by variations in the reverse design:

Additional examination of the obverse dies from each year shows that these, too, were changing with each year:

Die I 2005 - water lily without outline, the tops of lower inner grains in ears on the level of the third from the bottom wave.
Die II 2006 - water lily with outline, but at the top and the bottom there are vertexes of the 12-sided polygon
Die III 2008 - water lily without outline, the tops of lower inner grains in ears on the level of the second from the bottom wave.

Examples of die II combined with a 2006 reverse die, and die III combined with a 2008 reverse die are shown below (additional die variation exists):

Part of emission in 2006 was struck on weakly magnetic planchets.
