| Additional information |
A novelty "coin-on-coin" issue from Uganda, this piece was part of a wave of late-1990s collector tokens from smaller central banks that embedded or affixed actual foreign circulation coins as the central element. The attached piece is a genuine Euro cent struck in anticipation of the Eurozone launch — produced before the euro had legal tender status anywhere, making the embedded coin itself a pre-circulation specimen. Germany's euro coinage was struck from 1999 onward for collector sets well ahead of the January 2002 public introduction.
