Obverse description	The full Coat of Arms of Kenya occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two rampant lions, each holding a spear, above a scroll bearing the national motto. The date 1973 is divided by the supporters, with '19' to the left and '73' to the right. The commemorative legend 'TEN YEARS OF FREEDOM' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'FIVE SHILLINGS' and the numeral '5' appear in the lower field below the coat of arms.
