| Obverse description | Central field features the national coat of arms of Tanzania, depicting a shield supported by two human figures — a man and a woman — flanking either side, with an axe and hoe crossed beneath a torch at the crest. A scroll at the base of the shield bears the motto 'UHURU NA UMOJA'. The denomination '250' appears in the lower field. A circular legend in Swahili runs along the upper and lower periphery, commemorating 24 years of Tanzanian independence from 1961 to 1985. |
