Bangladesh - added to my collection

[@josephjk]

Love the detailing on the fish - the photo does not do them justice

I have 11 types from Bangladesh and not too many more to go.  It is fun to work on a type set where the types don't number in the hundreds.  Makes me feel like I am accomplishing something.

Congratulations; Nice coins!

Numista shows 28 types but I'm not sure the list is complete - it might be..


http://en.numista.com/catalogue/bangladesh-1.html

[nat]

The Numista list includes 4 commemorative coins (the last 4 types shown) out of the list of 28.  Thus, there are 24 types intended for circulation.  There are also 13 commemorative coins (1 nickel, 11 silver, 1 gold) that have been issued.

The most difficult type to find is the 50 poisha showing a pigeon dated ১৯৭৩ (1973).

There are many errors in reported dates perhaps because the number "৪" has the value 4 and the number "৭" has the value 7.  ০১২৩৪৫৬৭৮৯ = 0123456789.

For the date collector, many of the 5 poisha and 10 poisha coins are hard to find even though they are given very low catalog values.  Many were probably melted for their scrap value. 

Thanks,

Nice coins Joseph. I like the 1975 one taka. One taka of 1976 is another difficult piece to collect.
