| Additional information |
Uganda's shilling coinage underwent significant restructuring in the early 2000s as the central bank rationalized its circulating denominations following years of inflation that had rendered lower values effectively worthless. The 100 shilling piece in nickel plated steel replaced earlier brass and cupro-nickel compositions as a cost-reduction measure. The rabbit reverse — part of a broader fauna series — reflects Uganda's ongoing use of native wildlife imagery across its decimal coinage since the 1980s.
The Schön reference distinguishes this as D143.1, indicating at least one die or compositional variant exists within the type.
