| Additional information |
Kenya's first coinage series, introduced after the Central Bank Act of 1966 replaced the East African Currency Board, had a notably short window before metrication pressure began reshaping the region's monetary systems. The 25-cent denomination was discontinued after just two years of issue, making the 1967 date considerably scarcer than its predecessor.
