NEW COINAGE OF

SARAFU MPYA YA KENYA

The CBK has issued new generation coins following promulgation of a new Constitution which ushered hope for
a Newly Reborn and Prosperous Kenya. After taking into account views received from the public, CBK adopted the
use of wildlife images as the theme for the coins. Engraving these images in the coins gives physical expression
to a Newly Reborn and Prosperous Kenya and embodies the spirit of the Constitution which states that ‘we, the
people of Kenya are…respectful of the environment, which is our heritage, and determined to sustain it for the
benefit of future generations.’ The designs are also more accessible to visually impaired persons. These coins will
circulate alongside the coins previously issued and not withdrawn.
