100 Shillings Royal Wedding

Uganda issued this coin to commemorate the July 1981 wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, joining a wave of Commonwealth mints that produced silver commemoratives for the occasion. Uganda's participation was notable given the country was barely months removed from the fall of Idi Amin's regime and the chaos of the Uganda-Tanzania War — the national economy was in ruins, and these coins were produced almost entirely for export sale rather than domestic circulation.
