East Africa was an administrative grouping of the British colonies of Kenya, Uganda and British Somaliland. Tanganyika was added in 1919 after it was seized from the Germans. The original currency system was 100 cents = one florin (2 shillings). In 1922, this was changed to 100 cents = 1 shilling. In 1920 Uganda was dropped from the title on the reverse. The coinage has been obsolete since the member colonies obtained independence in the early 1960's.
Recorded mintage: 25,000,000.
Specification: copper-nickel.
