| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, stylised composition celebrating Luna Park Melbourne, one of Australia's most iconic amusement parks. Dominating the centre-right is a large high-relief depiction of the park's celebrated laughing-face entrance arch, with its wide open mouth serving as the gateway motif. To the upper field, roller-coaster tracks and ride structures are rendered in intricate detail, evoking the park's heritage attractions. At centre-left, the prominent block capital letter 'L' — the alphabetic designator for this issue in the Great Aussie Coin Hunt 3 series — is superimposed over the design. The inscriptions 'LUNA PARK MELBOURNE', '1', and 'DOLLAR' appear within the field. |

| Additional information |
The Great Aussie Coin Hunt series — now into its third iteration — was designed by the Royal Australian Mint to drive circulation engagement, borrowing a promotional model first proven effective by the UK's 2012 Olympic 50p program. Each lettered release corresponds to an Australian noun or concept, with "L" in this run assigned to "larrikin." The series has been commercially successful enough that many pieces are pulled from circulation by collectors before achieving meaningful wear, which creates a peculiar inversion: a coin issued for circulation that rarely circulates.
