| Additional information |
Issued in 1999 as a novelty anticipating the euro's physical introduction, this Ugandan legal-tender piece carries an actual 1 euro cent planchet — pre-production issue — embedded within it. The euro would not circulate as coinage until January 2002, making the attached piece a genuine pre-release specimen at time of striking. Bank of Uganda produced several such "coin-on-coin" pieces during the late 1990s, licensing the format as a revenue-generating commemorative rather than for any monetary purpose. The paper appliqué bonding the two pieces is notoriously fragile and separation is common in handled examples.
