| Obverse description | Central field bears the National Emblem of Bangladesh: a shapla (water lily) framed on either side by a pair of upright rice ears, with a spray of three tea leaves above and four stars flanking the upper portion of the emblem, symbolising the four founding principles of the 1972 constitution — nationalism, secularism, socialism, and democracy. The emblem is rendered in crisp relief against a plain field, with no encircling legend on the obverse. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts four stylised human figures arranged as a family unit — two adults and two children — rendered in a modernist, linear style evocative of FAO promotional imagery. Surrounding the design are inscriptions in Bengali script identifying the issuing country, denomination in both word and numeral, the date, and the FAO slogan. The composition emphasises themes of family planning and food security in accordance with the Food and Agriculture Organisation programme. |
