Commenti	Uganda's first banknote series launched at independence used Bradbury Wilkinson plates, and this 100 Shillings is the scarcer of two varieties distinguished solely by whether explanatory text appears beneath the denomination. The "without text" version is the earlier printing; the addition of clarifying text in the subsequent issue suggests the bank received feedback — likely from rural areas where shilling denominations were still unfamiliar — that the face value needed labeling. Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility produced security printings for dozens of newly independent African states during the 1960s. Uganda's first series was among the more straightforward commissions, with a single-thread watermark as the primary security feature.
