| Obverse description | Central field features a robustly rendered pig in high relief, depicted in a dynamic and naturalistic pose, set against an elaborate background of blooming peony flowers rendered in fine detail. The peony motif, a traditional Chinese symbol of prosperity and good fortune, fills the surrounding field in an ornate decorative composition. The Chinese character for pig (猪) appears prominently as part of the design, referencing the Lunar New Year theme. |

| Additional information |
Cambodia's lunar series coins are produced under license and struck by external mints — the National Bank of Cambodia issues them primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. The 2019 Pig entry sits in a long line of such issues that began gaining traction in the early 2000s as Southeast Asian mints and issuing authorities competed for a slice of the Chinese diaspora bullion-collectible market.
KM#163 is straightforward silver bullion with numismatic dressing. Nothing unusual in the striking history.
