The circular legend BANK OF UGANDA arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 19 95 divided across the mid-field, and the denomination 1000 SHILLINGS inscribed along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's lunar series issues of the 1990s were produced for the collector export market, not domestic circulation — the 1000-shilling face value was essentially fictitious against the actual purchasing power of the shilling at the time. The Bank of Uganda licensed these programs to generate foreign exchange revenue, a practice common among smaller economies throughout the decade.
