Interesting fact
The 1993 Ugandan 2000 Shillings silver coin featuring an elephant with a calf is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency. Instead, it was produced specifically for collectors and coin enthusiasts. Despite its relatively low mintage of 20,000 coins, it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its unique design and silver content.
