No, you'll get more for your Kenyan shillings if you sell when the Kenyan shilling buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Kenyan shillings, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Kenyan shillings you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 166.193 means you'd get KSh 166.193 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Kenyan shillings you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Kenyan shillings, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Kenyan shillings you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 166.193 means you'd need to sell KSh 166.193 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Kenyan shillings, you need to divide the Kenyan shilling amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Kenyan shilling (KSh) can be subdivided into 100 cents, although cents are no longer in circulation due to their low value so the lowest single unit of currency you're likely to come across is the KSh 5 coin. There are five denominations of Kenyan shilling banknotes in frequent circulation: KSh 50, KSh 100, KSh 200, KSh 500 and KSh 1000; and four coin denominatisons: KSh 5, KSh 10, KSh 20 and KSh 40.
The current series of Kenyan shilling banknotes in circulation is the '2019 Series' which was introduced by the Central Bank of Kenya in 2019. Each banknote in the series features different animals native to Kenya, such as lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, giraffes, and buffaloes on the obverse side, while the reverse side highlights various aspects of Kenyan culture including traditional dancers, agricultural activities, tourism, and scientific innovation.
