| Reverse description | A finely modelled left-facing portrait bust of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, first President of Kenya, occupies the central field, depicting him in civilian attire with a short beard and close-cropped hair, rendered in bold high relief. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower centre of the field. The legend 'MZEE JOMO KENYATTA' arcs around the upper and lateral periphery of the coin in spaced raised Latin capitals, following the curvature of the rim. The portrait exhibits strong sculptural detail in the facial features and garment. The polished field provides a sharp contrast to the relief elements. |
