Interesting fact
The Dusky bushbaby (also known as the Otolemur crassicaudatus) is a small, nocturnal primate native to Africa, and it's featured on the obverse (front) side of this coin. The coin's design showcases the bushbaby's distinctive appearance, with its large eyes and ears, and its long, fluffy tail. The coin's reverse (back) side features the Ugandan coat of arms. I hope you find this fact interesting!
