Identification note: Exact SCWPM Pick number not verified from images; otherwise identification as Kenya 20 Shillings 1989 is clear. | Confirmed attributes: Kenya, Central Bank of Kenya; denomination 20 Shillings; bilingual legends; portrait of President Daniel T. arap Moi at right; reverse with Moi International Sports Centre (stadium/track); blue primary color; dated 1ST JULY, 1989 with serial F/93. These match the late-1980s Moi portrait “stadium reverse” type listed in SCWPM for the 20 Shillings. Unverified: exact SCWPM suffix (signature/date variety) and, across SCWPM editions, the base Pick number assigned to the 1989-dated stadium type can differ or be grouped; without signature confirmation from the note and edition cross-check, the exact Pick-suffix cannot be fixed. Thus an estimated base Pick is provided with close alternatives noted.
