Bangladesh Bank's first 100 Taka series, issued in 1972, came into existence within months of the country's formal independence — the central bank itself had only been established by the Bangladesh Bank Order promulgated in December 1971. These early notes were a matter of urgent necessity, not considered design. The printing was handled by the Security Printing Corporation (Bangladesh) Ltd., but given the near-total absence of industrial infrastructure following the Liberation War, early production faced significant technical constraints.
P#9 is the rarer of the two signature varieties in this founding series. Watermark authentication was the sole mechanical security feature — a reflection of both the speed of production and available facilities at the time of issue.
