| Reverse description | A lion passant to the left is prominently depicted in the central field, set before a stylised landscape of mountain peaks rising against a plain background, all contained within a raised circular border. Below the lion, flanking scrollwork ornaments frame the large numeral '50' and the date, with the denomination legend FIFTY CENTS and HALF SHILLING arranged to the left and right respectively in the outer field. The inscription EAST AFRICA appears at the top of the coin between two dashes, and the mint mark is positioned within the design. The overall composition conveys the heraldic and naturalistic design tradition characteristic of British colonial coinage of the period. |
