H
- Hammered
- A coin that has been struck my hand, using dies and a hammer.
- High Relief
- A coin with the raised design high above the field. Coins struck in high relief often have problems with details not coming up sharp enough and dies having a shorter than usual lifespan. If the design is higher than the rim, the coin may not be stackable, and the highest points of the design will wear away very quickly.
- Holey dollar
- Spanish 8 Real coin with a hole in centre, stamped with New South Wales 1813 on obverse and five shilling on reverse.
- Hub
- Positive-image punch that impresses the coin's design onto a die.
