| Additional information |
Part of Uganda's long-running sports-themed commemorative program, this piece was issued ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The Bank of Uganda contracted several of these low-denomination silver-plated issues to foreign mints targeting the novelty collector market rather than domestic circulation — they were never intended to pass through Ugandan commerce at face value.
Silver-plated bronze was the standard cost-reduction choice for this tier of the market in the mid-2000s, when dozens of small-nation issuers flooded dealers with similar pieces. KM#221 is well-documented but holds negligible numismatic premium over melt-adjacent base value.
