Uganda's 1973 banknote series was issued roughly two years into Idi Amin's military government, which had seized power from Milton Obote in January 1971. The Bank of Uganda continued operating under the new regime, and Thomas De La Rue supplied notes essentially unchanged in format from the preceding Obote-era issues — a quiet continuity that suited a government still consolidating control and not yet ready to stamp its own iconography onto the currency.
De La Rue's watermark security on this series is relatively simple by the standards of the period. Later Ugandan issues would reflect the chaos of Amin's economic mismanagement; the 1973 shilling notes predate the worst of it.
