| Comments |
Thomas De La Rue has printed Ugandan currency through multiple political administrations, a relationship dating back to independence in 1962 and largely uninterrupted despite the upheavals of the Amin and Obote years. The 10,000 shilling denomination — Uganda's highest-value circulating note for much of this period — has been particularly vulnerable to inflationary erosion: when first introduced in the 1990s, it represented meaningful purchasing power, but by the 2010s it exchanged for roughly three US dollars.
The P#52 series ran across an unusually long print window, with De La Rue supplying successive dated issues through at least 2023 without a fundamental redesign.
