| Obverse description | The central vignette presents an Alaskan timber wolf set against the Denali mountain range, with a totem pole at left; the eight stars of the Big Dipper asterism and Polaris occupy the upper field, while an eagle hologram is placed at right. The state motto 'NORTH TO THE FUTURE' and the statehood year 1959 are incorporated into the design, with the denomination numeral '100' rendered in large format at the lower corners. The overall layout is executed in a style evocative of official U.S. Federal Reserve note design, and the legend 'THIS NOTE IS NOT LEGAL TENDER' confirms its fantasy issue status. |

Alaska has never issued its own currency — this is almost certainly a novelty or souvenir item rather than a legal tender banknote. The United States Federal Reserve System is the sole issuing authority for American paper currency, and no individual state has exercised independent note-issuing authority since the National Banking Era ended in the late nineteenth century.
Nothing about this piece warrants catalog treatment as a genuine banknote.
