| Obverse description | The Tanzanian coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield supported by two human figures standing on a grassy base, with an axe and hoe crossed behind the shield. The legend TANZANIA arches along the upper border in bold Latin capitals, while the denomination 1500 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower border. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, with the devices finished in frosted gold. |
