A new 50p coin to celebrate children’s character Zog has been released by the Royal Mint.

皇家造幣廠發布了一枚新的50便士慶祝兒童角色Zog的硬幣。

硬幣是皇家造幣廠的童年角色硬幣系列的一部分，該硬幣始於2020年，以前曾介紹慶祝Paddington Bear，Wallace和Gromit和Snowman的硬幣。

The Zog coin design was created by the Royal Mint’s engraving team and features an illustration of Zog in mid-flight, as he tries to collect a star from the Dragon School’s flagpole. Zog’s clumsiness is evident in the small size of his wings and the fact that he is still on the ground despite his efforts to fly.

Zog硬幣設計是由皇家造幣廠的雕刻團隊創建的，並在飛行中的Zog插圖中，他試圖從龍學校的旗桿中收集一顆星星。 Zog的笨拙在他的翅膀的小尺寸中顯而易見，儘管他努力飛行，但他仍在地面上。

This coin will be available to purchase in two standard finishes: Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof. The Brilliant Uncirculated 50p Zog coin will be available to buy from the Royal Mint in two editions: a standard version and a special edition which comes presented in a Royal Mint capsule. Both coins will be sold for £10.

The new coin was unveiled at an event at the House of Commons on Tuesday. It was attended by Ms Donaldson, Mr Scheffler, and MPs from both the Conservative and Labour parties.

新硬幣在周二在下議院舉行的活動中揭幕。唐納森女士，謝弗勒先生和來自保守黨和勞工方的國會議員都參加了會議。

Speaking at the event, 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.”

唐納森女士在活動中說：“我很高興在英國硬幣上慶祝Zog。當我15年前我寫他的故事時，我從來沒有想過他會飛到人們的想像中。

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.”

插畫家施弗勒先生說：“用他那友善的臉龐和笨拙的紮格繪畫一直是一種喜悅。看到我的插圖轉變為硬幣是令人難以置信的榮譽。”
