| Beschrijving voorzijde | Imperial German eagle vignette at upper left, with the notation 'gez.: A. Frühling' present but no actual signature at right. The note bears the denomination and issuing authority text in a plain letterpress layout characteristic of wartime emergency issues. |

| Opmerkingen |
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.
