The Uganda 1000 Shillings 2002 is a striking non-circulating commemorative coin issued by the Bank of Uganda, struck in stunning .999 fine silver. Weighing 25.10 grams with a diameter of 38.60mm, this milled and coloured round coin showcases exceptional craftsmanship, making it a standout piece for any serious collector or numismatist. Issued during Uganda's modern Republic era, this coin represents the nation's continued tradition of producing high-quality collector coinage using the New Shilling currency system established in 1987. The coloured technique adds a unique visual dimension rarely found in standard circulation coins, elevating its aesthetic and collectible appeal. What makes this piece particularly desirable is its rarity—being a non-circulating issue, mintage numbers are limited, making it harder to find in the open market. Silver commemorative coins from African nations like Uganda are increasingly sought after by global collectors building thematic or regional collections. This coin (Ref #V-207) is an excellent addition to any silver coin portfolio, whether for its intrinsic metal value, historical significance, or investment potential. Its combination of precious metal content, artistic detailing, and limited availability makes it a smart acquisition for both seasoned numismatists and new collectors alike.
