| Comments |
Kenya's P#24 10 Shillings series ran across an unusually long window for what was a low-denomination note, with production shared between De La Rue and Harrison & Sons — a dual-printer arrangement that occasionally produces subtle but real differences in ink saturation and paper feel between otherwise identical printings. Eric Kotut served as Central Bank Governor from 1988 to 1993, replaced by Micah Cheserem, which brackets the series neatly against a period of significant IMF pressure on Kenya over governance and structural adjustment.
The "Subiudyo" co-signature reflects the Secretary to the Treasury countersignature requirement then in force.
