Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Shillings (George Weah) 2006 coin from Uganda is that it features an error in the inscription on the obverse side. The coin was minted with the incorrect year of issue, bearing the date "2000" instead of "2006." This error has made the coin particularly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and unique piece in the numismatic community.
