Interesting fact
The 10 Cents coin from Kenya was designed by the renowned sculptor and coin designer, Christopher Ironside. He was a prominent artist who also designed coins for other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. The coin's design features a lion's head, which is a symbol of strength and courage, and is surrounded by a wreath of tea leaves, which represents Kenya's main agricultural product. The coin's design has remained largely unchanged since its introduction in 1978, and it continues to be a popular collector's item among numismatists.
