Comment
2005/2009 and 2010 differ on the obverse in design (larger numbers and smaller coat of arms) and on the metal composition.2010 is magnetic.
Interesting fact
The 10 Shillings coin was introduced in 2005 as part of a new currency system in Kenya, replacing the old shilling currency. The coin features a unique bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center surrounded by an aluminum bronze ring. This design was chosen to make the coin easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation and to reduce the risk of counterfeiting. The coin weighs 5 grams and has a diameter of 25.75 millimeters.
