The date '20 06' flanks the arms in the field. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '2000 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Part of Uganda's long-running series of celebrity footballer issues, this piece was struck for the collector market and had no meaningful circulation history. Baresi retired from AC Milan in 1997 after a career defined by his sweeper role and, notably, his missed penalty in the 1994 World Cup final shootout against Brazil — a detail that gives the issue its only real talking point.
