Since no proofs are listed I'll have to call this a gorgeous proof-like. The colony was established by treaties with local chiefs in 1884. It became a protectorate in 1891 and a full colony in 1897. The territory was established in what then was known as Tanganyika (Tanzania). The colony was lost after WWI.
