| Reverse description | The central design features a raised outline map of Kenya occupying the majority of the field, with the national flag draped across its surface, displaying the distinctive horizontal tricolor with a Maasai shield and crossed spears at its centre. Superimposed over the map in the lower central area are the inscriptions 'KENYA' and '1963-2013'. The upper legend reads 'FIFTY YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE' arcing around the coin, while the lower arc bears the Swahili equivalent 'MIAKA HAMSINI YA UHURU', commemorating the golden jubilee of Kenyan independence. |
