| Obverse description | The Ugandan coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by a kob antelope to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, with crossed spears behind the shield bearing a sun motif and a traditional drum. Below the supporters, a grassy compartment and a scroll bearing the national motto FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY are rendered in fine relief. The legend BANK OF UGANDA arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border, while the date 1993 appears divided on either side of the arms and the denomination 2000 SHILLINGS curves along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's 1993 silver issues were part of a broader wave of African wildlife coinage produced primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation — the country was still stabilizing economically following the turmoil of the Amin and Obote years, and hard-currency bullion programs were a practical revenue mechanism for the central bank. KM# 38 was struck by a contracted foreign mint, as Uganda lacked the domestic minting infrastructure for .999 silver production.
