| Obverse description | Portrait of President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta in three-quarter right-facing view at left, set against a fine guilloche underprint in rose-red tones. The Kenyan arms appear at centre within an ornate vignette, flanked by the denomination numeral '5' in each upper corner. Two manuscript signatures appear below, with the date '1st July 1978' at lower right; the note lacks the denomination in English at centre, as the variety identifier indicates. |
