| Obverse description | The national emblem of Bangladesh occupies the central field, depicting a water lily (shapla) as the primary device, flanked on either side by upright rice sheaves symbolizing agricultural heritage. Above the lily, a trefoil of tea leaves is displayed, and four five-pointed stars arranged in an arc represent the four founding principles of the 1972 constitution: nationalism, secularism, socialism, and democracy. The date ১৯৯৩ (1993) is inscribed in Bengali numerals within the field. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. |

Bangladesh issued this coin as part of a wave of wildlife conservation commemoratives produced by developing nations in the early 1990s, many of them struck at European mints and marketed primarily to foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation. The series drew on WWF partnerships and similar conservation initiatives that had become a reliable revenue mechanism for smaller issuing authorities during that decade.
