Zog author Ms Donaldson said: “I’m delighted that Zog is being celebrated on a UK coin. When I wrote his story 15 years ago, I never imagined he would fly so far into people’s imaginations. Seeing our determined dragon on a 50p piece would definitely earn him a golden star from Madam Dragon.”

Zog作者唐納森女士說：“我很高興Zog在英國硬幣上慶祝。當我15年前我寫他的故事時，我從來沒有想過他會在人們的想像中飛行到這麼遠。看到我們在50便士的龍看到我們堅定的龍肯定會給他贏得他的金星。”

Illustrator Mr Scheffler said: “Drawing Zog with his big friendly face and clumsiness has always been such a joy. To see my illustrations transformed onto a coin is an incredible honour.”
