On the coin’s reverse, Tommy is impeccably dressed in a timeless and sophisticated suit, complemented by a coat that exudes elegance, alluding to his enduring sense of style. Atop his head rests a flat cap, emblematic of the era in which he thrives. Behind him, a discerning eye will catch Tommy’s distinctive silhouette, smoking a cigarette. The background wallpaper features a pocket-watch suspended from a chain, a cherished accessory that remains an ever-present companion in the main character’s journey.

On the coin’s obverse, set against the urban backdrop of a working-class neighbourhood in Birmingham, three pivotal characters come into view: Thomas, his brother Arthur, and their aunt Polly. On the right side of the coin we see the official 10th anniversary logo.
