| Additional information |
Uganda issued a series of football-themed coins ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, with this 2000 Shillings piece among several denominations produced for the collector and novelty export market rather than domestic circulation. Silver-plated bronze issues of this type were manufactured primarily by European private mints on contract, with the issuing central bank having limited involvement beyond licensing the design.
KM#225 is catalogued among a cluster of Ugandan commemoratives from this period that share identical production characteristics — the plating on these is notoriously thin and prone to wear at contact points.
