| Obverse description | The Ugandan coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by a Uganda kob (antelope) to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, with crossed spears behind the shield and a rising sun at its centre. A scroll below the shield bears the national motto in the legend. The issuer legend BANK OF UGANDA arcs along the upper periphery, with the divided date 19-99 in the left and right fields respectively, and the denomination 1000 SHILLINGS inscribed along the lower periphery. The entire design is set against a polished field with a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A stylised globe and map of Europe are engraved in the field, overlaid with a circular ring of twelve stars along the lower periphery referencing the European Union. A genuine Dutch 5 euro cent coin is affixed to the upper portion of the design as a paper applique attachment, displaying the effigy of Queen Beatrix and the denomination. The legend THE NEW EUROPEAN CURRENCY arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, divided across the design field. The combination of the engraved host coin and the applied euro cent creates a distinctive numismatic novelty piece commemorating the introduction of the euro. |
