Reverse description	The reverse presents a vignette of the seated bronze statue of Jomo Kenyatta on its plinth, set before the cylindrical Kenyatta International Conference Centre tower in Nairobi, with a snow-capped Mount Kenya visible in the background and the conference centre's domed roof at lower right. A spray of coffee plant branches with red berries is rendered in fine intaglio at the left margin, providing a reference to Kenya's principal export crop.
