| Reverse description | The reverse, designed and engraved by Harry Brockway, presents a richly detailed pastoral scene celebrating the Chinese Lunar Year of the Pig. A large sow is depicted in the central field, suckling a litter of piglets beneath her, while a further piglet trots beside her to the right. In the upper background, a tranquil rural landscape unfolds featuring a thatched cottage with smoke rising from its chimney, flanking trees, and a crescent moon with stars set against the night sky. The Chinese character 豬 (Pig) appears in the lower left field, and the engraver's initials HB are incuse to the right of the sow's flank. The arc legend YEAR OF THE PIG · 2019 runs along the upper periphery. |
