Originally issued May 31, 2019, and reissued in 2024 with updated security features and new signatures from Central Bank Governor Kamau Thugge. Mandated by Kenya's 2010 Constitution, the 2019 series removed portraits of known individuals in favor of national monuments and thematic designs. The reverse depicts green energy installations including wind turbines, geothermal, and solar power, reflecting Kenya's renewable energy initiatives. The 2024 updated version includes an enhanced security thread and the Crystal effect security feature for added anti-counterfeiting protection.
