| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uganda is displayed centrally in the field, featuring a shield supported by a Kob antelope to the left and a Grey Crowned Crane to the right, set upon a grassy mound with the national motto on a scroll below. The issuer legend BANK OF UGANDA arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination 100 SHILLINGS inscribed along the lower periphery. The date is divided either side of the central device, reading 20 to the left and 10 to the right. The overall design is rendered in a polished proof-like finish with frosted relief devices. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's wildlife coin programs of the late 2000s and early 2010s were largely produced by the Bavarian State Mint and similar European contract minters for the collector market — these pieces saw no meaningful circulation in Uganda itself. The series was distributed almost exclusively through wholesale numismatic dealers in Europe and North America.
Silver-plated copper-nickel at this size is a format associated with budget-tier novelty issues of the period, and KM#341 fits squarely in that category.
