| Reverse description | A robust pig rendered in high relief stands in profile facing right upon a bed of bamboo stalks, set within a traditional East Asian landscape featuring a pagoda and a wind-swept pine tree in the background. The Chinese character 猪 (Pig) is prominently displayed in the upper left field. The date 2007 is incised along the lower field, flanked by decorative curved bamboo motifs. The composition, engraved by Vladimir Gottwald, reflects the Chinese Lunar New Year artistic tradition celebrating the Year of the Pig. |
