This seems familiar.

A picture is required to ascertain a value.

1) Whatever you do, don't clean it.

2) If you have or can take photos to post here we can give you a better idea about it. Small pics can be uploaded from your computer or larger ones as links from photohosting sites like flikr or photobucket.

If it's real, it's quite scarce because as far as I know, they were only produced for a couple of years. Can you tell us where you got it?

I got given it by my grandad, i'm not sure where he got it, i wasn't even sure if it was real, i have attached a direct link to photobucket but there is a HTML link available if need be, any info appreciated thanks!

Well, 1920 was the year Britsh East Africa ceased to be a protectorate and became Kenya, so it would make sense that this coin survives, i.e wasn't in circulation long/never was. I've got a few somwhere I think, I'll have a rummage.
