Interesting fact
The 1994 Kenyan 50 cents coin was part of a series of coins issued to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Kenya's independence from British colonial rule. The coin features the national emblem of Kenya, a lion, on one side, and the value of the coin on the other. The use of a nickel-plated steel material for the coin was a cost-saving measure, as it was less expensive than using traditional metals like copper or silver. Despite its relatively low value, the coin has become a popular collector's item due to its unique design and historical significance.
