Informazioni aggiuntive	Bangladesh introduced stainless steel coinage for higher-denomination circulating pieces in the early 2000s as part of a broader effort to reduce production costs and extend coin longevity in a high-humidity tropical circulation environment. The 5 Taka denomination had previously been struck in cupro-nickel, a composition abandoned largely on cost grounds. The KM#26 series spans three die varieties across the 2005–2008 window, distinguished by minor legend and date punch differences documented in Schön's catalog.
