| Obverse description | A three-quarter right-facing bust portrait of President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta occupies the left portion of the face, set against a fine guilloche underprint in blue-violet tones, with the national arms vignette appearing at centre-right beneath the bilingual bank title. Denomination numerals are placed in the upper and lower corners, with two facsimile signatures of the Board of Directors and a date printed below the arms. The inscription identifying Kenyatta as the first President of Kenya appears in association with the portrait. |
