When Bangladesh declared independence in March 1971, it had no central bank, no currency infrastructure, and no time. Pakistani rupee notes already in circulation continued to be used out of necessity, and the new government's interim solution was to overprint existing State Bank of Pakistan stock — including notes printed for but not yet issued by Pakistan — with "Bangladesh" markings. The P#3B series belongs to this transitional moment: rupee-denominated notes issued under Bangladeshi authority before the taka was introduced and the rupee was demonetized in 1973.
The issuing credit line naming the State Bank of Pakistan was never corrected on the printed face, which has caused persistent cataloging confusion.
