Silver Half Ounce 2019 Year of the Pig, Coin from Australia - detailed information

The obverse of the coin shows the crowned mature head of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (her effigy known as the "Fourth Portrait"). The Queen wears the "Girls of Great Britain and Ireland" diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty's grandmother) in 1947 - which she also has on the Machin and the Gottwald portraits.

In small letters below the head, the artist's initials IRB (for Ian Rank-Broadley).

Around the effigy is the monarch's legend, the date of issue and the value: ELIZABETH II AUSTRALIA 1/2 OZ 9999 Ag 2019 50 CENTS.

The inscription around the rim also incorporates the precious metal content. "1/2 oz 9999 Ag" means "one half of a troy ounce of 99.99% silver" (Ag is abbreviated from Argentum, the Latin word for silver).

The reverse of the coin depicts a domestic sow and four piglets in front of stylised rocks and foliage.

Above left, the Chinese character for "pig": 豬; around below, the inscription Year of the Pig.

The Perth Mint's P mint mark is in the right field. The designer's initials AH (for Aleysha Howarth) are on a leaf above right.

Finish: bullion (Brilliant Uncirculated).
