Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2000 Shillings (Roberto Baggio) 2006 coin from Uganda is that it features an error in the design. The coin was intended to feature a portrait of Roberto Baggio, an Italian football player, but the final design accidentally included a portrait of another football player, Diego Maradona, instead. This error has made the coin highly sought after by collectors, and it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
