| Additional information |
Bangladesh's early post-independence coinage was heavily shaped by international aid programs, and this issue was produced under the FAO's "Food for All" campaign — a United Nations initiative that prompted dozens of countries to issue agricultural-themed coins throughout the 1970s. The program was less about commemorating harvests than about pressuring member governments to visibly commit to food security policy at a moment when the 1974 Bangladesh famine had killed an estimated 1.5 million people.
