Antarctica has no central bank, no government, and no official currency — this note is a novelty or souvenir issue, almost certainly produced for the tourist trade servicing Antarctic expedition vessels or research station gift shops. A handful of private issuers have produced "Antarctic dollars" over the years, none carrying any legal tender status under any jurisdiction.
The "Series A; Summer" designation and the unusual 365-unit denomination suggest a themed set tied to the polar calendar — a single year's worth of dollars, playable on the summer season when the continent is actually accessible.
