| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central round hole surrounded by a stylised design of three elongated elephant tusks arranged in a radiating, interlocking pattern around the perforation, a motif emblematic of East Africa's ivory trade heritage. The numeral 5 appears in the upper field above the hole. The legend EAST AFRICA curves along the upper periphery, with small lozenge stops flanking the lower field. The date of issue is inscribed in the lower exergue. A milled border encircles the entire reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The East African Currency Board operated as a colonial monetary authority serving Kenya, Uganda, Tanganyika, and Zanzibar under a single shared currency — an arrangement that survived independence in Tanganyika (1961) and Uganda (1962) before the Board was finally wound up in 1966. These small bronzes circulated across an enormous and economically diverse region during the precise years when British East Africa was dismantling itself politically.
Coins from the final years of this run, 1962–1963, were struck knowing the issuing authority was already obsolete.
