| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a peculiar genre of the late 1990s novelty market: Ugandan legal tender struck specifically to embed or mount a genuine Euro cent ahead of the eurozone's 2002 cash introduction. The attached coin is an actual pre-circulation or early-release 1 Euro cent, making each example technically a two-nation, two-metal composite. Uganda issued numerous such pieces under KM numbers spanning this period, contracting with European mints and private issuing houses to produce collector fodder timed to Euro anticipation fever.
Genuine circulation was never the intent. The copper-nickel host was struck for the numismatic trade, not Kampala.
