Front: Uganda 1000 Shillings featuring an impala (Aepyceros melampus) with the outline map of Uganda showing the Equator line at 0° latitude. The Independence Monument in Kampala is depicted at right - this monument was erected in 1962 to commemorate Uganda's independence from British colonial rule. The coat of arms of Uganda appears at upper left featuring the grey crowned crane (Balearica regulorum), Uganda's national bird.

Back: British Armed Forces Special Voucher, 6th Series, 50 New Pence denomination. These military payment certificates were issued by Command of the Defence Council for use by British military personnel at NAAFI canteens and other authorized military establishments, primarily in Germany and other overseas postings. The design features elaborate guilloche patterns typical of security printing.

The story

Background & history

These two images represent completely different notes from different countries and issuers. The front image shows a Ugandan 1000 Shillings note from the 2010 series featuring wildlife and national symbols. The back image shows a British Armed Forces Special Voucher (BAF) 6th Series 50 New Pence, issued 1972 following decimalization, printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. BAF vouchers were used to control currency in military zones and prevent black market trading. This is clearly a mismatched pair - these are not the front and back of the same note.
