Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Shillings (Pope John Paul II) 2005 coin from Uganda made of Silver is that it was issued to commemorate the visit of Pope John Paul II to Uganda in 2005. The coin features an image of the Pope on one side and the Ugandan coat of arms on the other. It has a very low mintage of only 1,000 pieces, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
