The "Arctic Territories" is not a recognized sovereign or administrative entity, and "Polar Dollars" is not an official currency — this is a novelty or fantasy note with no genuine issuing authority behind it. Produced on polymer, likely by one of the smaller specialty printers catering to the commemorative and souvenir market that expanded significantly after the mid-2000s when polymer became accessible outside De La Rue and Note Printing Australia's near-duopoly.
Collector value, such as it is, depends almost entirely on print run documentation, which these issues rarely provide.
