Eww, that's not a real coin, sad to say. It's a Chinese "fantasy", and a rather shoddily made one at that. See how none of the letters are aligned properly?
The "five shillings" obverse is derived from a coin they issued in 1968. Uganda didn't make an Andrew and Fergie wedding coin; the reverse is derived from a 50 pence coin of St Helena & Ascension.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis
