| Reverse description | A rotund pig is depicted in high relief leaping or jumping over a wooden fence, rendered in a lively and whimsical style against a deeply mirrored proof field. The animal is shown in mid-leap, its body arched and curly tail raised, capturing a sense of motion and personality consistent with the coin's playful narrative theme. The fence rails in the lower portion of the design are rendered with fine detail, providing a ground plane that anchors the composition. The smooth, polished surfaces of the pig contrast effectively with the frosted relief detail, a hallmark of the proof striking technique employed by the Royal Canadian Mint. The reverse field is otherwise free of lettering or additional devices. |
