This is a commemorative note of 50 taka, released on 28.12.2022, celebrating the opening of the country's first High Speed rail metro in the capital city of Dhaka. This High Speed rail metro system was inaugurated on 28.12.2022 by the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and this transportation system is to improve and ease the traffic congestion in the capital city of Dhaka. Dhaka has a population in excess of 23 millions. Obviously, it is a very crowded city and such systems would definitely improve traveling times for the city commuters.
The commemorative note is issued at face value, however, it also comes with a folder in both English or Bangla/Bengali, and sold at 100 taka per set.
As this is a commemorative note, the design of the note includes the image of the current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed. This is the second banknote issued with her image on it. Sheikh Hasina Wazed was the Prime Minister of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2001, and again since 2009. Sheikh Hasina Wazed is
also the eldest daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman (b.1920-1972), who was the first Prime Minister of Bangladesh until he was assassinated in office in 1972.
