Description

An original, vintage 1950s or 1960s East Africa Half Shilling or 50 Cent coin set in Sterling silver on a Sterling silver caribiner keyring. The coin itself is now very scarce, minted just prior to Kenyan independence, it features the head and name of the monarch George VI or Queen Elizabeth II on the face and the words ‘East Africa Half Shilling Fifty Cents’ and a male lion in front of Mount Kenya and the number 50 on the reverse. The Sterling silver mounted coin is attached to an elegant Sterling silver caribiner keyring complete with threaded screw fastener. Handmade in England. Fully hallmarked this fine silver keyring comes with its own beautiful Geronimo Jones jewellery bag and in a presentation box. One of the very last coins minted to bear the monarch’s head in East Africa.
