5 Shillings

Kenya's 5 Shilling note of this series went through three signature combinations in a compressed four-year window, tracking a transition at the governor's chair — Duncan Ndegwa giving way to Philip Ndegwa (no relation) while Harry Mule remained Permanent Secretary throughout. That bureaucratic continuity, with only the top signature turning over, is typical of how the Central Bank of Kenya managed the politics of changeover without disrupting note production cycles.

Bradbury Wilkinson held the Kenya printing contract across much of this period from their New Malden facility before the firm was absorbed by De La Rue in 1990.
