Interesting fact
The 2000 Shillings (Gheorghe Hagi) 2006 coin from Uganda features an image of Gheorghe Hagi, a famous Romanian football player and coach, on its obverse side. This is unusual because Uganda is not known for its association with Romanian football or culture. It's possible that the coin was issued as a way to commemorate Hagi's achievements or as a nod to his contributions to the sport.
