Interesting fact
The monkey depicted on the coin is a Ugandan mangabey, which is a species of Old World monkey found in the forests of Uganda and other parts of East Africa. The mangabey is known for its distinctive black and white coloring and is considered an important cultural symbol in Uganda. The coin's design was created by the Ugandan artist, Rwakasoma, and was issued as part of a series of coins celebrating Uganda's wildlife.
