| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Opmerkingen |
Printed under siege conditions in Dar es Salaam, this note belongs to the emergency currency improvised by the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank as the First World War cut the colony off from Germany entirely. With no possibility of importing professionally printed notes, local production using whatever materials were available became the only option. Paper quality varied wildly across the 1916 series, and many surviving examples show the effects of tropical storage — foxing, thinning, and ink bleed are common and expected for the type.
The colony held out longer than any other German overseas territory, surrendering only in November 1918. Notes from this series were still nominally in use at that point.
