500 Taka

The 500 Taka is the highest denomination Bangladesh Bank issued during this period, and the thirteen-year print run across P#30 variants tracks the progressive tightening of security specifications — from a plain solid thread under Nurul Islam's signature to segmented foil strips by the time Khorshed Alam's name appears. That shift mirrors a broader regional response to increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting operations active across South Asia through the late 1980s and into the 1990s.

G&D's Leipzig facility handled the work throughout, one of the longer continuous supply relationships the printer maintained in the subcontinent during this period.
