| Additional information |
Uganda's early 1990s large-format silver issues were produced as part of a wave of high-weight collector pieces commissioned by smaller nations through European minting contractors — in Uganda's case during a period when the shilling itself had been redenominated in 1987 at a rate of 100 old shillings to one new, collapsing years of inflation into a fresh currency baseline. The 5000-shilling face value was purely nominal; the coin never approached circulation.
KM#36 is the larger of two leopard-type strikes from this series, distinguished from the small type by both diameter and weight rather than design alteration.
