| Additional information |
Kenya's first coinage series, issued following independence in 1963, took several years to finalize — these pieces were struck at the Royal Mint in London while Kenya's own monetary infrastructure was still being established. The "without legend" designation distinguishes this type from a later variant; the modification was minor but reflects the iterative process common to newly sovereign nations standardizing their coinage language in the mid-1960s.
