Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1000 Shillings (Goalkeeper) 2002 coin from Uganda is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's rich cultural heritage. The coin's obverse side features a goalkeeper in a traditional Ugandan football (soccer) team's uniform, while the reverse side depicts a traditional Ugandan hut and a tree, symbolizing the country's rural way of life. This design was created by the Ugandan artist, Rwakasoma, and it is a departure from the typical designs found on coins, making it a standout piece in the world of numismatics.
