there is a question about the 7S 6d at the top which indicates 7 shillings 6 pence (1/2 shilling) but Kenya used
shillings and cents 100 so it should be 7 s 50c...we need to see an original as of now it looks bad.

The image with K.F. Lavender has a faded 7s but a sharp 6d. Your thoughts?

We would need to know what the monetary/coin denominations used in Kenya at the time were. They may be different tnow, and with Independence just having been declared and the republic established, there may have been some changes in the coin of the realm, and those may have taken place over a period of time.

You may want to check out the discussion on the ‘fake’ thread about the Kenyan currency. I posted a couple responses. My question is, did Kenya use pences (vs. pennies) between 1922, when the Kenyan Shilling was firmly established as the currency of the 3 East African British Protectorates and 1966, when Kenya started minting and printing money?

Checked it out. Even the East African Currency Board issued cents. If these printings were purchased from an English printer a pad or larger quantity might have cost 7s 6d. I've seen old books marked 7s 6d.

Jpeg of book. Just a possible explanation.
