| Obverse description | Within the aluminium bronze centre, the large numeral '20' dominates the upper field, with the Kenyan coat of arms depicted below, featuring two lions as supporters flanking a traditional shield and crossed spears, with a scroll bearing the national motto 'HARAMBEE' at the base. The copper-nickel outer ring carries the circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF KENYA' at the top and 'TWENTY SHILLINGS' followed by the date '1998' along the bottom, all in raised Latin lettering. The bimetallic construction creates a distinct two-tone appearance between the centre and ring. |
