The Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank's 500 Rupien note of 1912 is among the highest denominations issued for German East Africa and was never intended for ordinary commerce — at that value, it functioned primarily as a settlement instrument between merchants and trading houses in Dar es Salaam and Tanga. Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig produced the series to a high engraved standard, as they did for most German colonial currency of the period.
When war broke out in 1914, the colonial administration under Schnee and Lettow-Vorbeck was cut off from Germany entirely. Emergency currency followed, but these pre-war Rupien notes remained nominally valid and circulated well beyond their intended role.
