Micah Cheserem took over as Central Bank Governor in 1993 and became one of Kenya's more consequential monetary policymakers — his tenure coincided with IMF-backed structural adjustment and significant inflationary pressure through the mid-1990s. The 100 shilling note circulated through some of the most economically turbulent years in post-independence Kenya, when the shilling lost substantial ground against the dollar before partial stabilization around 1999.
Thomas De La Rue printed this series continuously across a seven-year window, accounting for the unusually large number of signature date variants all bearing the same signatory pairing. Cheserem served until 2001, so the final issues in this run represent the closing months of his governorship.
