| Obverse description | The Tanzanian coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a vesica-shaped shield supported by two standing female figures, one to each side. The shield bears a crossed axe and hoe above diagonal bands and a flaming torch at its apex, with the national motto scroll reading UHURU NA UMOJA at the base. The legend TANZANIA and the date 2019 arc across the upper periphery, while the denomination 250 SHILLINGS is inscribed along the lower periphery. Two decorative dotted borders flank the arms within the mirror-polished field, lending the composition a formal proof quality. |

| Reverse description | The central field presents a full-color lithographic depiction of a young pig standing in three-quarter view, rendered in warm pink and orange tones with characteristic dark spots. The pig holds a large four-leaf clover in its mouth, applied in vibrant green color with a raised, glossy finish, symbolizing good fortune in the Chinese zodiac tradition. Behind the pig, an incuse engraved farmyard scene featuring a barn and fencing occupies the silvery background field. The legend YEAR OF THE PIG is inscribed along the right periphery in a vertical arc. The surrounding rim retains a frosted matte texture contrasting with the polished inner field. |
