100 Shillings

Uganda's 100 shilling note of this series was introduced after the country had already burned through two earlier shilling regimes — the original East African shilling, then the catastrophic depreciation under Idi Amin and Milton Obote's second government, which saw the Bank of Uganda issue notes in denominations that would have been unthinkable a decade earlier. By the time this series launched in 1987, the 100 shilling denomination had been substantially eroded by inflation and was already a minor unit in daily commerce.

Thomas De La Rue's watermark security on this issue is simple by the firm's own standards — a single watermark, no security thread.
