| Additional information |
Uganda's 1999 silver program was part of a broader wave of sub-Saharan commemorative issues produced for the international collector market in the late 1990s — coins intended almost entirely for export, with negligible domestic circulation. The archery subject ties loosely to Olympic sport promotion, a theme heavily marketed to European and Japanese collector audiences at the time.
Struck to .999 fineness at a contracted foreign mint rather than locally — Uganda has no domestic minting facility.
