5 Shillings

The East African Currency Board was already a dead institution walking by 1964. Kenya had gained independence in 1963, Uganda in 1962, Tanzania in 1961 — each country was building its own central bank, and this note was issued into a currency union that all three knew was about to dissolve. The Board was wound up in 1966, with each successor state replacing EACB notes with domestic issues almost immediately.

Bradbury Wilkinson handled EACB printing throughout the final years of the Board's existence. P#45 is among the last shilling-denominated notes the Board ever issued.
