| Obverse description | Printed in letterpress on blue-gray paper, the obverse is framed by a border of repeated asterisk ornaments and headed by the legend 'Interims-Banknote' at top center. The central text, in German, identifies the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank as the issuing authority and states the note payable to the bearer without verification, with the denomination '1 Eine Rupie 1' set in large type at mid-field. The date '1. September 1915' and place of issue 'Daressalam/Tabora' appear at lower left, accompanied by the branch authority inscription 'Zweigniederlassung Daressalam, In Vollmacht' and two manuscript signatures at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, on the same plain blue-gray paper, carries a serial number in large type at both top and bottom. Two blocks of guarantee text occupy the central field: one in German attesting that the note's value is fully deposited with the Kaiserliches Gouvernement von Deutsch-Ostafrika, and a corresponding Swahili translation conveying the same assurance, flanked at mid-left and mid-right by the series letter 'A'. A counterfeit warning in German is printed at lower center, with a small printer's imprint for the Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Zeitung, Daressalam, at the foot. |
