Coin set – Kenya

Latest and complete set of coins

from Kenya with portraits

Jomo Kenyatta’s reputation has gone beyond Kenya

and he was awarded the honorary title of Mzi,

which means “great old man”.

He studied in London and also in Moscow

and played an important role in gaining Kenya

independence in 1963, and a year later became the country’s first president.

Kenyatta’s name is not the origin of the state’s name.

This goes back to the native term for the belt.

The portrait of Jomo Kenyatta is depicted on all obverses.

of this complete set of Kenyan shilling coins.

This is the last coin in Kenya to feature a portrait,

since the image of individuals on coins

or banknotes was prohibited by the Constitution in 2010.

– With three bimetallic coins

– Icon of the African Independence Movement

– “The Great Old Man” of Kenya
