Obverse description The national coat of arms of Uganda occupies the central field, depicting a traditional shield supported by a Uganda kob (Kobus kob) rampant to the left and a grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum) to the right, with a scroll below bearing the national motto in the exergue. The date '1996' is divided across the field, flanking the shield at left and right. The legend 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, while '2000 SHILLINGS' runs along the lower periphery, all in raised Latin lettering against a smooth field. The design is rendered in high relief with a proof-like finish.
