Reverse description The central field depicts a dynamic football scene commemorating the 1994 FIFA World Cup: a large foreground figure of a footballer in mid-kick strikes the ball toward a goal, with a corner flag prominently positioned at center, and three additional players rendered in smaller scale near the goalmouth at right. The composition is set on a stylized pitch surface. The fineness mark 999 appears in the lower left field. The peripheral legend XV WORLD CUP 1994 - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcs around the upper and right portions of the coin, bordered by a beaded inner circle and a reeded outer rim.

Additional information

Pattern issues from Bank of Uganda are rarely documented with precision, and KM#Pn3 is no exception — mintage figures remain unpublished. Uganda's mid-1990s monetary environment was still stabilizing after decades of disruption under Amin and Obote, and the 1000-shilling denomination at that point represented a relatively high face value for a circulating coin. Whether this pattern was rejected on cost grounds or simply superseded by a revised design is not recorded in standard references.
