A new collectable coin from the Royal Mint marks 15 years since Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s enthusiastic but accident-prone dragon first captured readers’ hearts.

自朱莉婭·唐納森（Julia Donaldson）和阿克塞爾·謝夫勒（Axel Scheffler）熱情而又容易發生事故的龍首先吸引了讀者的心以來，皇家造幣廠的新收藏硬幣標誌著15年。

The design features Zog flying, complete with tiny wings and a determination to earn a golden star at Dragon School.

該設計具有Zog飛行，並帶有微小的翅膀，並決心在Dragon School贏得金星。

The 50p joins the Mint’s childhood characters collection, which also includes The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child.

50p加入了薄荷的童年角色系列，其中還包括Gruffalo和Gruffalo的孩子。

Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Zog onto an official UK 50p and as part of our childhood characters coin series.

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。

“As the dragon who tries his very best – despite his mishaps – Zog represents determination and perseverance, qualities we can all admire.

“儘管他不幸的是，佐格還是盡力而為的龍代表了決心和毅力，我們都可以欣賞的素質。

“This coin celebrates a character who has become a firm favourite in households across the UK and continues our tradition of honouring beloved children’s literature on our nation’s coinage.”

“這枚硬幣慶祝了一個在英國各地的家庭中成為最受歡迎的角色，並延續了我們尊重我們國家造幣的心愛兒童文學的傳統。”

Zog author Julia 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作者朱莉婭·唐納森（Julia Donaldson）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飛向人們的想像力。

Zog illustrator Axel 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.”

Zog Illustrator Axel Scheffler說：“用他那巨大的友好臉和笨拙的Zog繪製Zog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。”

Previous character coins from the Royal Mint also include the Snowman, Paddington Bear, and Wallace and Gromit.

皇家薄荷的以前角色硬幣還包括雪人，帕丁頓熊以及華萊士和格羅米特。

The Zog 50p coin was created in partnership with Magic Light Pictures, the company behind the animated adaptation of the story. Its release on Thursday coincides with Zog Day 2025, celebrating the character’s qualities.

Zog 50p硬幣是與Magic Light Pictures合作創建的，Magic Light Pictures是故事的動畫改編背後的公司。它的周四發布與2025年Zog Day相吻合，慶祝角色的品質。

The coin is available to buy from the Royal Mint’s website in a range of precious metal finishes, with colour versions also available in Zog’s orange hue. The range starts at £15 with colour version 50ps priced from £25.

該硬幣可從皇家造幣廠的網站上以各種貴金屬飾面購買，顏色版本也可在Zog's Orange Hue中使用。該範圍從15英鎊開始，顏色版本50PS的價格從25英鎊起。
