| Additional information |
Peter Rabbit's cousin Benjamin made his debut in Beatrix Potter's 1904 tale, a story she initially struggled to get published — her earlier self-published edition of Peter Rabbit had sold well enough to finally convince Frederick Warne & Co. to take on the series. The Solomon Islands has issued novelty colorized and plated pieces under licensing arrangements with various IP holders for well over a decade, targeting the collector gift market rather than any numismatic audience.
