| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Uganda at centre, 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' along the base. The date '2006' is divided across the field flanking the coat of arms, with '20' to the left and '06' to the right. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, while '2000 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The entire design is framed by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader FIFA World Cup promotional series issued in the mid-2000s, this piece was struck not by Uganda's own minting infrastructure but almost certainly by a European private mint operating on contract — a common arrangement for African nations producing collector-oriented issues with no genuine domestic circulation intent. Roberto Carlos's inclusion reflects his peak fame following Brazil's 2002 World Cup victory, for which he was a key squad member.
