| Aanvullende informatie |
Kenya issued this gold piece in 1966 as part of a broader commemorative program marking the country's early post-independence monetary establishment, with Jomo Kenyatta — then serving as the nation's first Prime Minister and subsequently its first President — lending his image to the highest-denomination piece in the set. The series was produced in limited quantities primarily for collectors and diplomatic gift purposes rather than circulation.
KM#9 is catalogued as among the scarcer pieces in the 1966 Kenya commemorative gold set, with the 500 Shilling denomination issued in notably smaller numbers than the lower values in the same series.
