Comments

Antarctica has no monetary authority, no central bank, and no currency. This note is a novelty or souvenir item — produced commercially, not by any governmental or treaty body. The Antarctic Treaty System, which governs the continent, makes no provision for coinage or banknotes, and the various national research stations operate on their home currencies for any internal transactions.

The "Series A; Winter" designation and the 365-dollar denomination are marketing conceits. Collect it as ephemera, not numismatics.
