| Reverse description | A highly detailed portrait of a monkey's head, facing slightly left, is rendered in fine relief at the centre of the coin within a raised inner circle. The facial features, fur texture, and ears are depicted with naturalistic precision. The legend · BANK OF UGANDA · curves along the upper periphery, while the date 2004 and the word MONKEY appear in the lower exergual area. The overall style reflects the wildlife conservation theme characteristic of Ugandan commemorative coinage. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's wildlife coinage of the early 2000s was produced largely for the collector market rather than general circulation, with many issues struck at foreign mints under contract. The Bank of Uganda has never publicly disclosed mintage figures for KM#129, making population data effectively speculative.
