| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uganda is centrally displayed, featuring a shield supported by a kob antelope to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, with a drum and the River Nile in the base. The year of issue is divided either side of the arms, reading '20' to the left and '06' to the right. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '2000 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The motto scroll 'FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY' appears on the shield's base. The entire design is set within a beaded border. |

Jack Charlton's connection to Africa is an odd fit for a Ugandan commemorative. The issue belongs to a broader wave of Irish football tributes minted in the mid-2000s by various sovereign mints capitalizing on nostalgia for the Republic of Ireland's run at Italia '90 and USA '94 — campaigns Charlton managed. Uganda's involvement is purely nominative; the Bank of Uganda licensed its name to numismatic marketing firms producing collectibles with no meaningful circulation intent.
Silver-plated copper-nickel issues of this type were struck in large numbers for the gift and collector market, not for any monetary purpose.
