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作者唐纳森女士说：“我很高兴Zog在英国硬币上庆祝。当我15年前我写他的故事时，我从来没有想过他会在人们的想象中飞行到这么远。看到我们在50便士的龙看到我们坚定的龙肯定会给他赢得他的金星。”

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.”

插画家施弗勒先生说：“用他那友善的脸庞和笨拙的扎格绘画一直是一种喜悦。看到我的插图转变为硬币是令人难以置信的荣誉。”
