| Reverse description | A draped bust of Mother Teresa facing slightly left occupies the center of the field, depicted cradling a young child in her arms, the whole enclosed within an inner beaded circle. Her characteristic white habit with blue-bordered veil is rendered in fine relief. The legend MOTHER TERESA arcs along the upper portion of the inner circle, while the inscription *1910 SKOPJE †1997 CALCUTTA appears at the sides, and THE ANGEL OF THE POOR curves along the lower margin within the beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Issued the year of Teresa's death in Calcutta, this Ugandan commemorative was part of a wave of memorial strikes produced across dozens of mints worldwide in 1997. Uganda had no particular institutional connection to her work — the issue was almost certainly facilitated through a licensed coin program rather than any sovereign initiative from Kampala.
