Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse presents an identical design to the obverse, consistent with this coin's status as an obverse trial piece: the Kenyan coat of arms occupies the central field, with two rampant lion supporters flanking a shield adorned with a Maasai warrior's shield motif and crossed spears in saltire behind. The motto scroll HARAMBEE appears beneath the supporters, the date 1973 is positioned to either side of the base of the supporters, and the denomination 50 FIFTY CENTS is inscribed in the lower portion of the field. The legend REPUBLIC OF KENYA runs along the upper periphery.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Trial pieces issued by the Central Bank of Kenya in this period were typically produced to test alloy specifications and die alignment before authorizing full production runs — the 1973 date places this squarely in Kenya's post-Uhuru monetary consolidation, when the East African Currency Board had already been dissolved and Kenya was still refining independent issuing protocols. Pn11 designation confirms this as a pattern rather than a circulated type.
