Price Guide: £4.00

Zog, the enthusiastic young dragon who keeps getting hurt learning to fly, breathe fire and roar at Dragon School in Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's 2010 picture book, features on this Royal Mint 50p - the same author-illustrator pairing behind The Gruffalo, extending the Mint's run of children's-literature commemoratives.

Struck for general circulation, it's a common, popular find for young collectors and Donaldson/Scheffler fans.
