----------------------------
Series dedicated to the Chinese zodiac. The Chinese zodiac is a traditional classification scheme based on the Chinese calendar that assigns an animal and its reputed attributes to each year in a repeating twelve-year cycle. Chinese folkway held that one's personality is related to the attributes of their zodiac animal. The twelve zodiac signs are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
The series consists of two sets of twelve coins of 100 Shillings each, one of them made of steel and the other made of nickel plated steel, issued in 2004. The obverses depict the coat of arms of Uganda, and the reverses depict the animal.
