Uganda's central bank issued a series of silver-plated sport celebrity coins in the mid-2000s aimed squarely at the collector novelty market — Zidane's inclusion here almost certainly capitalizes on his visibility at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, where he received a red card in the final against Italy after headbutting Marco Materazzi in the chest. The timing of this release, with the World Cup occurring that same year, is not coincidental.
KM#302 is a pure bullion-adjacent souvenir piece with no meaningful circulation history in Uganda.
