On 21 February 1952 police opened fire on student demonstrators, and the martyrs of that day became a founding symbol of the movement that later led to Bangladesh’s independence. In 1999 UNESCO declared 21 February International Mother Language Day in their memory. Bangladesh Bank issued this 60 Taka commemorative note for the 60th anniversary in 2012; it is marked as not legal tender, so it was made for collectors and was never meant for circulation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e🎨\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesign Details:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFront: the Central Shaheed Minar in Dhaka, the national martyrs’ monument, with Bengali text including the opening line of the famous Ekushey February song.
