German East Africa Deutsch-Ostafrikanische Bank 500 Rupien 2.9.1912 Pick 5 PMG Extremely Fine 40. An eye appealing example of the highest denomination issued for German East Africa, featuring a portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Though all notes were designed and printed by Giesecke & Devrient, the 500 Rupien note has the distinction of having a different portrait and layout. This note was issued for a few short years before Emergency issues were printed during World War I and the colony was subsequently ceded after Germany's defeat in the war. Minor restoration is mentioned by the third party grading company which does not detract from the overall appearance. A highly collectible note, especially in this grade.
