German East Africa 1886-1918
TANGANYIKA as a geographical and political
entity did not take shape before the period of High Imperialism; it's
name only came into use after German East Africa was
transferred to Britain as a mandate by the League of Nations in 1920.
What is referred to here therefore is the history of the region that was
to become Tanganyika.
German CARL Peters had secured treaties with tribal leaders on East Africa's coast, providing the German government with legitimation to negotiate with Britain over spheres of interest in East Africa. In the treaty of 1886, Germany renounced it's claims on the WITU AREA (on Kenya's coast, north of Mombasa) and on Uganda, and Britain recognized Germany's claim to what was to become German East Africa. In another treaty of 1890, Germany traded the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba for the much smaller island of Heligoland, off Germany's coast in the North Sea. The Germans bought off the Sultan of Zanzibar's rights to the Tanganyikan coast for $ 800,000.
The German East Africa COMPANY (founded 1887, succeeded by the German government in 1891) established BAGAMOYO as their colony's capital, soon moving it to DARESSALAAM. The colony was called DEUTSCH-OSTAFRIKA (German East Africa). The colony's borders had been established in treaties with Britain (Kenya, Uganda, Northern Rhodesia), Belgium (Belgian Congo) and Portugal (Mocambique); interests of the indigenous people were disregarded. From the coast, the Germans penetrated the country and established their rule. The currency was 1 Rupia = 64 Pesa.

For many years Tanzania was the world's leading producer of Sisal but the introduction of synthetic fibres depleted the market. Cashew nut and cotton, Pyrethrum
and tobacco are grown as well as Arabica coffee in Arusha district and
Robusta coffee in the Bukoba area. Tea is grown in the Usambara and
Tukuyu regions. Main timber products are camphorwood, mahogany
(mkangazi), mangrove, mninga, ebony (mpingo) and teak (mvule).
Diamonds, alluvial and ore gold are found near Shinyanga and the German 'Tabora Sovereign' was minted from Sekenke gold. The famous Tanzanite gemstone is known all over the world.
In British East Africa, the Indian Rupee replaced the Cowrie Shell in 1896 (I Rupee = 200 cowries). The Rupee was replaced by the Florin which was itself replaced in 1922 by the current official tender, the Shilling with 100 cents per unit.
Population by 1990 was approximately 26 million with an average density of 25 inhabitants per sq. km.

10 Rupees / 10 Rupien
I am a serious collector of banknotes
specializing in '10 Rupees / 10 Rupien' of various countries including
German East Africa (GEA).
While searching the Google engine , I hit upon your site which I found to be very informative. However, I would like to know if you have any information pertaining to the banknotes . My Question would be
How many different Signatories (or Governors ) has the GEA '10 Rupien' been issued between 1905 - 1917 and what were its different types / prefixes.
I shall be grateful if I can get this information.
Thanking You Sincerely,
Percy Siganporia
Anyway, if you do come across information or even banknotes of '10 Rupien ' GEA or '10 Rupees' of Mombasa (East Africa) , Zanzibar , kindly let me know. I shall be truly grateful for the same.

Wow, what an interesting hobby! I thought that Northern Tanzania was pretty specialised, but finding 10 Rupee bank notes must call for real dedication.
And it’s a shame that I cannot help you, because I don’t think that I’ve got anything in my collection which will give the kind of detail you want. Most books just say something like “the currency used to be the Rupee” and stop there.
My guess is that many of the sources you need will be in German, and that’s always a challenge for non-German speakers.
However, I’ll try to remember you request as I look arround, and if I see anything I’ll let you know.
I truly appreciate your fast response and your gesture in helping me in
the information I seek for my subject of specialization. As you rightly
said, there could be sources in German which can provide me with certain
detials of the '10 Rupien' banknotes issued between 1905 & 1917 by
GEA . It is a matter of time / efforts that one can get the information
they require, thanks to the internet.And it’s a shame that I cannot help you, because I don’t think that I’ve got anything in my collection which will give the kind of detail you want. Most books just say something like “the currency used to be the Rupee” and stop there.
