The engraver's signature C. JAMES. F appears in the exergue below the ground line. A circular legend surrounds the central device, reading MAN OVER MAN HE MADE NOT LORD, expressing the radical egalitarian philosophy of the issuer Thomas Spence. |

| Descrição do reverso |
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. |
