MINIATURE SHEETS OF BANGLADESH

MINIATURE SHEETS
OF BANGLADESH

Bangladesh is a small country situated in South Asia. Formerly called “East

Pakistan”, a state separated from Indian subcontinent in 1947. First stamps of
Bangladesh were issued on 29th July 1972, the very time when liberation was going
on. At that time, the 8(eight) value stamps called “Mujibnagar Issue” were released.

The first Miniature sheet was issued on 31st December 1974 on the occasion of
“Centenary of Postal Union”. It’s denomination was Tk.8.15. Till then a good
number of Miniature sheets have been released by the Bangladesh Post Office.

In this presentation, I have presented all the Miniature sheets issued by Bangladesh
post office up to 2004, first 33rd year of “Liberated Bangladesh”.
