| Obverse description | The Ugandan national coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a shield supported by a Uganda kob (antelope) on the left and a grey crowned crane on the right, with a scroll bearing the national motto below. The arms are rendered in fine detail in the aluminium field. The inscription 'BANK OF UGANDA' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '100 LINGSSHIL' is inscribed along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Uganda has no historical or cultural connection to the Chinese zodiac, and the Bank of Uganda never authorized this piece for circulation. These "Lingsshil" zodiac issues — the denomination itself is meaningless in any Ugandan monetary context — were produced in the early 2000s by private minting operations exploiting the willingness of smaller sovereign authorities to lend nominal legitimacy to souvenir pieces aimed at the Asian collectibles market.
