| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uganda occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by two flanking animals — a Uganda kob (antelope) on the left and a grey crowned crane on the right — both standing on a grassy mound. The shield bears the national emblem with a sun motif at its center. A ribbon below the shield carries the national motto in the legend. The circular outer legend reads 'BANK OF UGANDA' at the top and '1000 SHILLINGS' at the bottom, with the divided date '19 99' flanking the shield at either side. |

| Reverse description | A stylized relief map of Europe fills the central field, with two applied paper applique discs representing actual euro cent coins affixed to its surface. The larger applique at upper center depicts the obverse of a German 20 euro cent coin, showing the numeral '20' with the inscriptions 'EURO' and 'CENT'. A second, partially visible applique at lower right depicts the reverse of the German 20 euro cent coin, featuring the Brandenburg Gate design surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union. The encircling legend reads 'THE NEW EUROPEAN CURRENCY', with a ring of twelve stars bordering the lower portion of the reverse. |
