Interesting fact
The 100 Shillings (Dog; nickel plated steel) 2004 coin from Uganda features a unique design of a dog on one side and the Ugandan coat of arms on the other. The use of a dog on the coin is significant because dogs are often seen as symbols of loyalty and protection in many cultures, and this design choice may have been intended to convey those values as part of Uganda's national identity.
