| Obverse description | The central field features the coat of arms of Kenya, depicting a Maasai shield and two crossed spears flanked by two rampant lions, with a cockerel atop the shield. The date is divided by the arms, appearing to the left and right in the lower field. The peripheral legend reads 'REPUBLIC OF KENYA' along the upper arc, while 'TWO SHILLINGS' curves along the lower arc. The numeral '2' appears in the lower central field beneath the arms, and a ribbon scroll bearing the national motto 'HARAMBEE' is displayed at the base of the shield. |

| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIC OF KENYA 1966 HARAMBEE 2 TWO SHILLINGS (Translation: All pull together.) |
| Reverse description | A plain, unadorned left-facing bust of President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine detail to the facial features, short beard, and suit collar. The portrait is large in proportion to the flan, filling much of the die area. No legend, inscription, or peripheral text appears on this face, giving the design a stark, monumental quality characteristic of the series. |
