Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit entered the public domain in most jurisdictions after her death in 1943, but licensing from Frederick Warne & Co. — the original publisher — remains commercially active and covers the specific illustrated versions of the characters. Issues of this type are produced under that licensing framework, typically through the Perth Mint or similar third-party facilities operating on behalf of Pacific island authorities whose minting programs are built almost entirely around collector revenue rather than domestic circulation.
