The Royal Bengal Tiger was featured on the reverse of the 25-poisha coin from 1977 to 1991 (although coins were only minted during 8 of those years). I believe the example shown is dated 1991.
100 poisha = 1 taka.

After British rule of the Indian subcontinent ended in 1947, British India was divided into two states: India and Pakistan. Pakistan was further divided into East and West Pakistan. And divided they were, with lots of strife. In 1971, East Pakistan declared independance as the Peoples' Republic of Bangladesh.
