| Additional information |
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.
