Comments

The sixth design in the Chinese Lunar Year - Shēngxiào Collection, there were several different strikes for the Year of the Pig with varying compositions and denominations which all share Harry Brockway's design.

The proof strike has plain fields while the bullion issues have a guilloche background design on the obverse alongside an additional legend with the weight and fineness on the reverse.
