Details
Description:
A nice choice very fine or better banknote from Kenya. This is 1971 Twenty Shillings banknote issued by the Central bank of Kenya. The banknote is blue on multicolor underprint on the front with the image of Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first president after its independence from Great Britain. The front is in English and Kiswahili and shows the serial number in black twice. This particular note has the serial number 462818 and is series A/43. It is dated 1st July 1971 and shows two signatures on the front. The back is blue and shows a train with flatbed cars on rail tracks with Sisal plants and Mount Kenya in the background. The back has English text only and shows the denomination. The note has a watermark showing a lion's head and a security thread left of center. A beautiful note in very fine condition with light green colored graffiti in the right margin in the back and hence our grade of VF as opposed to XF. Please carefully review scans presented as they are part and parcel of our description.
Date:
1st July 1971.
Printer:
De La Rue, London England.
Size:
The banknote measures ~6" by ~3 1/2".
Pick Number:
P8b and is listed in the Banknote Book as B108b.
Condition:
I would grade this banknote as choice very fine with all of its details being extremely well preserved and its colors being vivid and distinct. The note is generally very clean with some minor soiling and no large objectionable stains. It does have a couple of small stains and some graffiti in light green color along the right margin of the back. The note has several vertical folds and a light central horizontal fold. It does have some wrinkling here and there. It retains quite a bit of its original stiffness, crispiness and sheen. It has no pinholes, no tears, and no splits. Its corners are intact and squared with minimum rounding but have a few bumps. A nice example of this rather elusive note in choice very fine condition to add to your collection. Please view the scan presented for additional condition information.
