1.000 Shillings
Tanzania · Bank of Tanzania
Tanzania's 1,000-shilling denomination has carried the image of Mwalimu Julius Nyerere — Tanzania's first president and pan-African icon — since the modern series was introduced in 2011. The 2023 variant is distinguished by new signatories and a 2023 date visible in the security thread, continuing an established practice of periodic signature updates. The note is printed in blue tones and incorporates the Bank of Tanzania emblem alongside the Ikulu presidential palace.
