| Additional information |
Uganda's wildlife coinage of the early 2000s was issued partly in response to a regional push to use circulating currency as a conservation awareness vehicle, though the practical reality is that these coins saw limited everyday use in a cash economy still dominated by lower-denomination notes. The 100-shilling piece had little purchasing power by 2004, with inflation having eroded its utility substantially since the shilling's reintroduction in 1987 after the catastrophic monetary collapse under Obote and Amin.
KM#134 is the stainless steel successor to earlier bimetallic and brass versions of the denomination, reflecting a cost-cutting retooling at the mint rather than any policy shift.
