Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1993 Ugandan 5000 Shillings (Leopard; small type) coin is that it has a unique design feature. The leopard depicted on the coin is shown with a small, stylized heart-shaped spot on its forehead, which is not typically found in real-life leopards. This distinctive design element sets the coin apart from other leopard-themed coins and makes it a standout among collectors.
