The front depicts the coat of arms and the Baitul Mukarram Mosque in Dhaka, Bangladesh, designed by architect Abdulhusein M. Thariani, is one of the largest in the country, built from 1960 after the site of the ancient pond ' Paltan Pond' has been filled in. Distinguished by its modern cubic structure and the absence of a traditional dome, it houses shops, offices, libraries and parking lots. Inaugurated for prayers in 1963 by President Ayub Khan, its management has been entrusted to the Bangladesh Islamic Foundation since 1975, making it a major center for religious and cultural activities in Dhaka, combining spiritual importance and remarkable architecture in the urban landscape.
The reverse side shows the Bangladesh National Assembly building, known as Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, is an iconic architectural work designed by American architect Louis Kahn in the 1960s. Inaugurated in 1982, it became the official headquarters of the unicameral parliament of Bangladesh. The building is famous for its modern and functional architecture, incorporating elements of natural light and distinctive geometric shapes. Symbolically, it represents the sovereignty and independence of Bangladesh, achieved after its separation from Pakistan in 1971. Over the years, the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban has been subject to renovations to meet the changing needs of the National Assembly while preserving its historical and architectural importance.
