| Reverse description | The reverse displays the bold numeral '5' above the denomination legend HELLER in large capital letters, all enclosed within a wreath of oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The mint mark 'T', denoting the Tabora mint, appears at the lower center beneath the wreath tie. The overall composition is simple and functional, consistent with the emergency circumstances under which this coinage was produced during the East African campaign of World War I. No peripheral legend surrounds the design, and the field is plain. |
