Reversbeschreibung	Central device depicts a pig walking to the left, trampling upon symbols of ecclesiastical and monarchical authority including a crown, a crozier, and related regalia, emblematic of Spence's anti-establishment political views. Above the pig, a radiated Phrygian cap — the Liberty cap — is prominently displayed, a recognised symbol of republican freedom. A circular legend surrounds the device reading PIGS MEAT PUBLISHED BY T. SPENCE LONDON, referencing Spence's radical political periodical of the same name.
