Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1000 Shillings coin from Uganda featuring Princess Diana and a disabled child is that it was issued as a tribute to Princess Diana's humanitarian work, particularly her advocacy for the rights and well-being of children with disabilities. The coin's design features a portrait of Princess Diana and a disabled child on the obverse, and the Ugandan coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1998, a year after Princess Diana's tragic death, and its release was intended to honor her memory and continue her legacy of compassion and service to others.
