Obverse description	Interims-Banknote (emergency issue) printed in black on plain paper within a diamond-pattern border frame. The issuing authority text reads 'Die Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank' in two lines across the centre, with the denomination '5 Fünf Rupien. 5' in large letterpress type. The place and date 'Daressalam, Tabora, 1. November 1915' appear at lower left, with the branch designation 'Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank Zweigniederlassung Daressalam In Vollmacht' at lower right, above two manuscript facsimile signatures.

Reverse description	Plain paper reverse printed in black, with a serial number appearing twice — once at the top and once at the bottom of the note. The large series letter 'D' is printed at left and right centre. A bilingual text block in German and Swahili occupies the upper portion, attesting to the backing of the note by the Imperial Government of German East Africa, followed by a German anti-counterfeiting warning at the foot. A small rectangular stamp of the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank, Daressalam branch, is affixed at lower centre.
