| Obverse description | The Ugandan coat of arms is depicted centrally in the field, featuring a shield supported by a Ugandan kob antelope to the left and a grey crowned crane to the right, with a scroll bearing the national motto 'FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY' at the base. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by a beaded border. The year '2006' is divided across the lower field on either side of the shield, and the denomination '2000 SHILLINGS' appears along the lower rim in bold lettering. |

| Additional information |
Uganda's Bank issued a series of silver-plated sport and celebrity pieces in the mid-2000s, most with limited genuine collector infrastructure behind them — these were primarily sold through third-party distributors targeting the novelty market rather than serious numismatic channels. Blokhin was chosen almost certainly on the strength of his 2004 FIFA World Player of the Century award, which briefly made him the most internationally recognized figure in Soviet football history.
His club career at Dynamo Kyiv ran under close KGB oversight, as the club was formally administered by the Ukrainian SSR's secret police apparatus throughout his playing years.
