| Obverse description | The obverse displays the coat of arms of Tanzania centrally positioned in the field, featuring a shield borne by two human figures — a male warrior to the left and a female figure to the right — both standing on a grassy mound with ornamental foliage at their feet. The shield incorporates a flaming torch, a spear and crossed axes, and a representation of Mount Kilimanjaro above wavy lines symbolising water. A scroll at the base bears the Swahili national motto 'UHURU NA UMOJA' (Freedom and Unity). The legend 'TANZANIA' arcs along the upper periphery in bold relief lettering, while the denomination '1000 SHILLINGS' is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, close-up portrait of a Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) rendered in fine relief, occupying the majority of the field, with the animal's head facing slightly left and its prominent horns prominently displayed in the foreground. An African savannah landscape forms the background, featuring acacia trees rendered with great naturalistic detail beneath a wide sky. To the upper right, a shield-shaped emblem bearing the 'BIG V' logo — associated with the Tanzanian Big Five wildlife series — is incused into the field. The year of issue '2016' appears in the lower right field. The legend 'BLACK RHINOCEROS' curves along the upper border in stylised serif lettering. |
