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.
