| Obverse description | At upper left, an oval intaglio vignette carries a left-facing portrait of King George VI set against a dark cross-hatched background, while the bold letterpress title 'THE EAST AFRICAN CURRENCY BOARD' runs across the top of the note. The central denomination inscription 'TWENTY SHILLINGS OR ONE POUND' is flanked by corner numeral panels reading '20', with subsidiary denomination panels in Arabic and Gujarati scripts printed side by side below — a hallmark of the India-style serial format. The legal tender clause and the date 'Nairobi, 1st August 1942' appear at the foot, with facsimile signatures of the Board Members to either side. |
