The design of the coins is not too convoluted and diverse. Kenyans give honour to their leader and first President Jomo Kenyatta, but because the obverse of all the coins is decorated with his portrait. The value of coins and the state emblem is crowned with the reverses of the Kenyan money. 1 shilling and 50 cents are made of "steel". Coins of a higher denomination is bimetallic.
The value of the coins of Kenya is quite different: from one to several dollars. Such a range of prices for Kenya coins due to the usual numismatic reasons: safety and the rarity of the instance. But to buy coins Kenya is possible.
