The 50 Taka commemorative banknote, issued on March 28, 2021, by Bangladesh Bank, celebrates the Golden Jubilee of Independence (1971–2021). Featuring Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Father of the Nation, on the obverse alongside the National Martyrs’ Memorial (Savar), it pays tribute to the country’s journey.
