| Additional information |
Pattern coins from the Bank of Uganda's mid-1990s issues were produced as proposed denominations that never entered circulation — the 4000 Shillings value was almost certainly a casualty of Uganda's ongoing currency rationalization following the catastrophic inflation of the Amin and Obote years, which had already forced a complete currency reissue in 1987 at a rate of 100 old shillings to one new. By 1995, denominations were still being tested against economic realities that kept shifting.
KM# P21 is among a small cluster of brass patterns from this period, with confirmed surviving examples numbering in the very low dozens at most.
