| 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. |

| Reverse description | A fully colored naturalistic depiction of a plains zebra (Equus quagga) standing in profile facing left, set against a golden savannah landscape rendered in polychrome enamel applied to the central field.

The upper periphery bears the arc legend 'PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED WILDLIFE' in raised Latin lettering, while 'AFRICA' appears along the lower periphery, flanked by two five-pointed stars. The border is formed by a fine inner beading ring separating the colored central disc from the silver outer ring. |
