Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2000 Shillings (Waving Queen) 2003 coin from Uganda is that it features a unique design of Queen Elizabeth II, with her arm raised in a waving gesture. This design was created by the Ugandan artist, David M. M. Muwanga, and was specifically commissioned for this coin. The coin's design is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance, as it marks a departure from the traditional depiction of the Queen in a more formal and serious pose.
