| Reverse description | The reverse, on the same blue-green paper, carries the interlaced calligraphic 'DOB' monogram of the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank at the upper right and lower left corners, with the serial number repeated at upper left and lower right. Three central text blocks present the German guarantee clause attesting that the note's full value is deposited with the Imperial Government of German East Africa, a Swahili-language equivalent of that pledge, and a German counterfeiting warning, with the series letter 'F' printed at the right margin. |
