| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of Tanzania in high relief at centre, featuring a shield charged with crossed tools, a spear, and wavy lines representing the sea, flanked by two human figures — a man to the left and a woman to the right — each dressed in traditional attire and standing on a grassy mound with flowering vegetation at their feet. A ribbon below the shield bears the national motto 'UHURU NA UMOJA' in raised lettering. The legend 'TANZANIA' arcs along the upper periphery in large capital letters, and the date '1998' appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic grouping of three Serengeti wildlife animals in high relief against a mirror-polished field: a male lion standing to the left with a full mane, a cheetah seated in the centre foreground, and a zebra standing to the right. Above the animal group, at the upper centre, is an oval cartouche bordered by a ring of beads depicting an acacia tree on the savannah. The denomination '10000' appears in the lower central field, with the legend 'SERENGETI WILDLIFE' arcing along the upper border and 'SHILINGI ELFU KUMI' along the lower border, all within a beaded inner circle. |
