| Additional information |
Issued under a licensing arrangement that proliferated through the late 1990s, Uganda's "Euro coinage preview" series allowed the Bank of Uganda to monetize collector interest in the forthcoming European single currency before it existed. The actual 50 euro cent coin — produced by the Royal Dutch Mint — was physically bonded to a Ugandan 1000 shilling host coin, giving collectors a tangible piece of euro-era anticipation at a moment when the coins had no legal tender status anywhere.
The euro cent itself is genuine Netherlands issue. The Ugandan shilling denomination is nominal; no serious attempt was made to circulate these.
