Each release in this series has its own design matching animal featured on the lunar calendar in that year. Right now, you can get the 2019 British Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coin online from Provident Metals.

It depicts the Queen in right-profile relief at the age of 89 with the George IV State Diadem Crown on her head. She only wears this crown during the State Opening ceremony of Parliament.
Reverse
The pig features in the sixth design of the Shengxiao Series on the reverse of 2019 British Lunar Pig 1 oz Silver Coins. In this design, a mother sow is lying on its side as young piglets suckle for food. In the distant background field, there is a small, humble cottage with a stone wall and smoke rising from the chimney into the sky.
History
