2000 Shillings Right-facing queen

Uganda's 2000 shilling silver issues from this period were part of a broader commemorative program the Bank of Uganda used to generate hard currency revenue rather than serve domestic circulation — these pieces were never intended to pass through Kampala's markets. KM#280 specifically belongs to a subset featuring a right-facing effigy, a deliberate variation from the more conventional left-facing portrait used on companion pieces, likely to distinguish collector releases within the same series.
