| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uganda is centrally displayed in the 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 sun motif at its centre. A scroll at the base bears the national motto in the legend. The issuer name 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, the date '2002' is divided across the middle field to either side of the arms, and the denomination '1000 SHILLINGS' runs along the lower periphery, all in raised Latin lettering within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a rectangular color-printed inset, styled in the manner of a postage stamp with perforated edges, depicting three hammerhead sharks (family Sphyrnidae) swimming in blue oceanic waters against a light aquamarine background. The surrounding field is finished in a dark oxidized tone, with two raised bullet-point devices flanking the stamp at mid-height. The legend 'MARINE LIFE' arcs along the upper periphery and 'OF THE OCEANS' along the lower periphery, both in raised Latin lettering, with raised dot separators at the lateral positions. |
