20 Taka

Bangladesh Bank introduced a redesigned 20 Taka series in the early 2010s as part of a broader effort to standardize security features across lower denominations, which had lagged behind the higher-value notes in anti-counterfeiting provisions. The watermark on this issue is relatively modest by contemporary central bank standards — a reflection of production cost constraints rather than any oversight.

The print date of 30 April 1945 in the catalog data is almost certainly a transcription error and should be verified against the note itself before any attribution is relied upon.
