Descrizione del rovescio	Plain text layout within a single-rule rectangular border. The serial number appears twice — at the top and bottom of the note. Three blocks of text are arranged vertically: a guarantee clause in German stating that the note's value is fully deposited with the Imperial Government of German East Africa, a parallel guarantee clause in Swahili, and an anti-counterfeiting warning in German threatening penal servitude of not less than two years. A printer's stamp reading 'DEUTSCH-OSTAFRIKANISCHE ZEITUNG G.M.B.H. DARESSALAM' is impressed in the lower left corner. The letter 'F' appears on both left and right margins as a series designator.

Commenti	By 1915, the British naval blockade had completely severed German East Africa from Europe, forcing the colonial government to improvise its own currency from whatever materials were available locally. The Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung G.m.b.H. — a newspaper printer, not a security press — was pressed into service in Dar es Salaam, producing notes on whatever paper could be sourced in a surrounded colony at war. The result is technically crude by any metropolitan standard, which is precisely what makes the series historically striking. Forgery resistance was minimal; the authorities had neither the equipment nor the time for sophisticated intaglio work. Governor Schnee's administration signed off on a design that was, above all, fast to produce. Surviving examples frequently show uneven ink distribution and rough perforations — artifacts of newspaper press production, not deterioration.
