Interesting fact
The 1000 Shillings (Admiral Nelson) coin from Uganda, minted in 1999, is a unique collector's item due to its unusual shape. Instead of being circular, it is shaped like a crown, with the portrait of Admiral Horatio Nelson on one side and the Ugandan coat of arms on the other. This distinctive design makes it stand out from other coins and adds to its appeal for collectors.
