Celebrate the beloved children's story with the first-ever UK coin featuring Zog, the clumsy yet determined dragon from Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's bestselling book. Zog is a young, enthusiastic dragon who attends 'Dragon School' to learn flying, roaring, and breathing fire—but his eagerness often leads to mishaps like crashing into trees or setting his wing on fire. This official 50p from The Royal Mint shows Zog in flight, bringing his playful personality. Part of a series of commemorative coins inspired by Donaldson and Scheffler's works, this is a collector's piece, struck with a brilliant uncirculated finish. These coins come in an informative presentation sleeve, packed with information about Zog that will delight fans, young and old.
Featuring a joyful image of the determined dragon soaring through the sky, the reverse design of this 50p coin captures the charm of Zog, complete with the bold inscription of his name to mark 15 years of the much-loved story.
The heads side of this Zog coin features a portrait of King Charles III by British sculptor Martin Jennings. The legend around the bust reads 'CHARLES III · D · G · REX · F · D · 50 PENCE · 2025 ·'.
Brilliant uncirculated 50p coins like this Zog collectable are high-quality collector coins struck using specially polished dies and blanks, resulting in a sharper finish than standard circulating coins.
Zog is the third children's book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Schaffer to be featured on an official UK coin, after previous releases celebrating The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child. These coins are being produced for a limited time only, and once our stock is gone, it will be hard to add this Zog 50p to your collection.
