| Obverse description | A highly stylised cast relief depicting an enormously rotund pig viewed from the front, its corpulent body filling the central field, with the snout and ears emerging from the mass of textured flesh in low relief. The circular legend is arranged around the border in incuse lettering, partially inverted, forming a continuous poetic phrase. |
