| Reverse description | The reverse bears a central portrait effigy of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of the nation, facing slightly to the right. The legend গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বাংলাদেশ সরকার, translating to 'Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh,' arcs along the upper field in Bengali script. To the left of the portrait appears the denomination in Bengali script (এক টাকা) and in Bengali numeral (১), while to the right the Arabic numeral 1 is inscribed. The year of issue and the country name BANGLADESH in both Bengali and Latin scripts appear along the lower portion of the field. |

| Additional information |
Bangladesh's 1 Taka coin series has seen repeated redesigns tied directly to administrative decisions about cost and durability — the shift to stainless steel reflected a broader regional trend among South Asian central banks struggling with the economics of cupronickel procurement in the 2000s. Bangladesh Bank operates under the Ministry of Finance rather than as a fully independent institution, which means coin specifications are subject to budget cycles in ways that purely autonomous central banks avoid.
