| Reverse description | A lion passant to the right is depicted centrally within a circular beaded border, with a stylized mountain range in the background evoking the East African landscape. The denomination 50 CENTS and date appear in the lower exergual area, while the circumferential legend EAST AFRICA & UGANDA PROTECTORATES arcs around the upper and lateral fields. The design is bold and clear, characteristic of early twentieth-century British colonial coinage. |
