Uganda 50-SHILLINGS (KM66)
Ugandan Kob
The Ugandan kob (Kobus kob thomasi) is a sub-species of kob, which is an antelope found south of the Sahara from west to east. Its reddish-brown coat distinguishes it from other kob species. It appears on the Uganda coat of arms.
In 1987, Uganda re-monetized with a new shilling and no smaller subdivisions. The smallest denomination is one shilling and the largest (circulating) is 500 shillings.
Thanks to David G. for correcting this entry, which I thought was an Ankole-Watusi bull.
