1000 Shillings Rhinoceros

Uganda's 1996 wildlife series was produced using pad-printing technology — a process borrowed from industrial manufacturing that allowed photorealistic color imagery to be applied directly onto struck blanks. At the time, very few sovereign mints had adopted the technique, and the results across the series are notoriously inconsistent; the printed layer on circulated examples chips and flakes readily, making fully intact specimens harder to source than mintage figures alone would suggest.
