Beschrijving keerzijde Polychrome bust of the explorer Matthew Flinders depicted in three-quarter facing right view, superimposed upon a colored map of the Australian continent shaped to form the coin's distinctive outline. A dotted line traces Flinders' historic circumnavigation route around the coastline of the continent. The legends naming the commemorated voyage and the explorer are inscribed within the design, referencing the bicentennial of the first complete circumnavigation of Terra Australis in 1802.

Aanvullende informatie

Terra Australis was the hypothetical southern continent that European cartographers populated on maps for centuries before any confirmed sighting of Antarctica — a landmass invented by geographic necessity, not exploration. Uganda's decision to issue a coin commemorating it sits within a broader wave of Pacific and African mint programs through the 1990s and early 2000s that produced silver rounds on exotic or historical themes with no connection to the issuing nation, aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.

KM#99 is part of a loosely connected series issued under Bank of Uganda authority but almost certainly contracted through a third-party distributor.
