| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two traditionally dressed Chinese children in joyful celebration, rendered in high relief against a lightly engraved background of auspicious cloud and foliate patterns. One child holds a large pomegranate — a classical symbol of fertility and abundance — while the other gestures expressively, both figures evoking the festive spirit of traditional Chinese culture. The inscription 福寿绵长 (Endless Fortune and Longevity) appears to the right in a vertical arrangement of Chinese characters. The face value 20元 is inscribed in the lower right field. |

| Additional information |
This coin belongs to the long-running Chinese Auspicious Culture series, which the People's Bank of China has used since the 1990s to document traditional folk customs and festival traditions that were systematically suppressed during the Cultural Revolution. The 2019 issue marks the Year of the Pig in the sexagenary cycle, tying its release to a festival calendar that predates the Han dynasty.
Mintage figures for issues in this series are tightly controlled and released only through authorized domestic channels, with secondary market premiums often outpacing the silver spot component within the first year of issue.
