| Reverse description | Plain typographic layout on unadorned cream paper within a single-rule rectangular border. The serial number appears twice in large numerals, at top centre and bottom right. The main text block is set in two languages: German above and Swahili below, both attesting that the value of the note is fully deposited with the Imperial Government of German East Africa. Series letter 'C' appears at left and right margins flanking the Swahili text. A counterfeiting warning in German occupies the lower text block, and a small printer's imprint box reading 'Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung G.m.b.H. Daressalam' appears at lower left. |
