| Obverse description | At right, a vignette of the Star Mosque (Tara Masjid) in Dhaka's Armanitola area, rendered in fine line engraving; the structure is distinguished by its ornate domes covered in Chinitikri-style mosaics of blue stars crafted from shards of Chinese porcelain, with floral rosettes and geometric patterns decorating the façade. The mosque, built in the first half of the 19th century by Mirza Golam Pir (Mirza Ahmed Jan), is one of the few surviving examples of this distinctive mosaic architectural tradition. Bengali and English inscriptions appear alongside the central guilloche underprint. |
