Interesting fact
The 1000 Shillings (John Paul II; Brazil) 2005 coin from Uganda is interesting because it features an image of Pope John Paul II, who was a significant religious figure in the Catholic Church, on one side, and the coat of arms of Brazil on the other. This coin was issued to commemorate the Pope's visit to Brazil in 2005, and it is made of copper-nickel, weighing 24.75 grams.
