The central vignette presents the Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in Dhaka, completed in 1968, set against a guilloche underprint.

| Comments |
Bangladesh Bank introduced this series during a period when the taka was under sustained inflationary pressure, with the central bank attempting to stabilize purchasing power through tighter monetary controls. The P#39 run spans a four-year window, and individual notes within it can be distinguished by signature combinations corresponding to successive Governors and Finance Secretaries — a detail that matters more to specialists than the dates themselves suggest.
The watermark is the sole security feature, which was already considered minimal by early 2000s standards. Security printing had moved well beyond single-feature protection by this point, and Bangladesh Bank acknowledged as much when the subsequent series introduced additional elements.
