| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing effigy of President Julius Kambarage Nyerere occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. Flanking the bust on either side are stylized floral or foliate decorative devices. The legend 'TANZANIA 1984' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'RAIS WA KWANZA' — Swahili for 'First President' — curves along the lower periphery. The coin is struck to proof quality with a deeply mirrored field contrasting against the frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | A woman tea-picker is depicted in the central field, shown kneeling or crouching as she harvests leaves into a large wicker basket beside her, rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof field. The design commemorates the United Nations Decade for Women and highlights the role of women in agricultural labour. The circular legend 'UNITED NATIONS DECADE FOR WOMEN' arcs around the upper periphery, while '· SHILINGI 1000 ELFU MOJA ·' appears along the lower periphery, combining the denomination in both numeral and Swahili words. |
