The first cards to be used in Kenya were 5 values, supplied by Autelca: 50, 100, 200, 400 and 1000 KSHS. The cards, which showed the colors of the Kenyan flag, were without the typical side notch. Subsequently the values of 200, 400 and 1000 KSHS were reprinted, but this time with the notch, so it is easy to distinguish the first ones emitted by subsequent reprints.
