| Obverse description | A stylized rooster, the national symbol of Kenya, stands facing left in the central field, clutching an axe in its right talon — an emblem of authority and independence. The denomination '250' appears in the lower centre of the field, with the mint mark 'S' below, and the date '· 1966 ·' inscribed along the lower rim. The circular legend 'FATHER OF THE KENYA NATION' arcs around the upper periphery in bold raised Latin lettering. The overall design is rendered in high relief against a polished field. |
