| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised depiction of an iconic Australian ute — a utility vehicle of the coupe variety — positioned to the right of centre, rendered in crisp relief against a satin-finished field. Radiating from behind the vehicle, concentric semicircular lines suggest speed and motion, sweeping across the upper portion of the design. Below the central motif, the large letter U appears prominently in the field, serving as the alphabetic identifier for this entry in the Great Aussie Coin Hunt series. The curved legend ONE DOLLAR . UTE is inscribed along the lower rim in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt, launched by the Royal Australian Mint in 2019, was a circulation campaign built around 26 alphabetically themed one-dollar coins — one for each letter. The series drove unusual public engagement, with Australians actively pulling coins from change and trading duplicates, producing secondary markets on platforms like eBay within weeks of release. The silver proof versions were struck separately for collectors and never entered circulation.
KM#3648a designates the silver proof variant of the "U" issue specifically, distinguished from the base metal circulation strike by both composition and finish.
