| Obverse description | The central field features two confronted Chinese-style dragons rendered in high relief, their sinuous bodies intertwined around a central orb or pearl. The denomination legend '2000 SHILLINGS' arcs along the upper border of an inner beaded ring, while 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the lower border. The Ugandan coat of arms appears in the lower exergue between the two inscription segments. The coin exhibits a gilt or gold-toned outer ring contrasting with the silver-toned dragon field, lending a bimetallic appearance to this pattern piece. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a polished, mirror-like central field styled to evoke the reflective foil wrapper of Swiss chocolate, serving as the primary commemorative element marking the 100th Anniversary of Swiss Chocolate. The outer ring is decorated with four ornate bat motifs in relief, symbolic of good fortune and prosperity in East Asian iconography. The legend 'SUISSE 100 ANN' is inscribed within the outer ring, with the date '2002' appearing at the base. The overall design blends European commemorative subject matter with Chinese decorative motifs characteristic of this series of Ugandan pattern coinage. |
