皇家造幣廠紀念硬幣總監麗貝卡·摩根（Rebecca Morgan）表示：“我們很高興歡迎Zog加入英國官方50便士，並作為我們童年角色硬幣系列的一部分。

Zog author Ms Donaldson said she is "delighted" that Zog is being celebrated on a coin.

"When I wrote his story 15 years ago, I never imagined he would fly so far into people’s imaginations.

“當我15年前寫他的故事時，我從來沒有想過他會飛到人們的想像中。

"Seeing our determined dragon on a 50p piece would definitely earn him a golden star from Madam Dragon."

“在50便士上看到我們堅定的龍肯定會給他贏得一顆來自龍女士的金色星星。”

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."

插圖畫家施弗勒先生說：“他的友善的臉龐和笨拙一直是一種樂趣。看到我的插圖轉變為硬幣是一種令人難以置信的榮譽。”
