Beschrijving voorzijde The full Ugandan coat of arms is depicted in the centre of the field, featuring a central shield charged with a sun in the upper half and a traditional drum below, supported by a Uganda kob (antelope) to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, both rampant. Two crossed spears rise behind the shield, and a scroll at the base bears the national motto FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY. The legend BANK OF UGANDA arcs along the upper periphery, with two pellets at either side of the lower field, and the date 1981 appears in the lower portion of the field.

Aanvullende informatie

The International Year of Disabled Persons was designated by the United Nations for 1981, and Uganda was among a small number of countries that issued piedfort collector pieces to mark it. Piedforts — struck at double the normal planchet thickness — were a format revived largely by the French Monnaie de Paris in the late 1970s and quickly adopted by other mints for prestige limited editions aimed at the collector market rather than circulation.

Uganda's economy was in severe disorder by 1981, the country still destabilized in the aftermath of Idi Amin's expulsion two years earlier. A silver piedfort commemorative was, under those conditions, strictly a hard-currency revenue instrument for the government.
