| Reverse description | Central depiction of an iconic Australian Hills Hoist rotary clothesline rendered in fine line work, shown from a low angle with its radiating arms extending across the upper field. A large stylised letter H occupies the left-centre of the field, serving as the alphabetic identifier for this issue in the Great Aussie Coin Hunt series. Concentric curved lines fill the lower field, suggesting a garden lawn setting. The legend ONE DOLLAR · HILLS HOIST arcs along the upper periphery in capital letters. |

| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt was a circulation program launched by the Royal Australian Mint in 2019 releasing 26 alphabet-themed dollars into everyday change — a deliberate effort to drive public engagement at a time when Australians were rapidly abandoning cash transactions. Each letter represented a culturally specific Australian noun, and the series moved millions of coins through supermarket tills and vending machines nationwide. The "H" release was among the 26 produced to identical mintage targets, with the full set pressed across standard circulation runs rather than collector strikes.
