The Arctic Territories is not a sovereign state and issues no legal tender — these "Polar Dollars" are privately produced novelty items with no monetary status anywhere. Global Numismatic Services LP, operating out of Houston, produced this and similar denominations in the series as collectibles marketed through numismatic retailers and online channels around 2013, when polymer novelty notes were briefly fashionable among small private issuers capitalizing on De La Rue and Giesecke & Devrient's mainstream polymer adoption.
The QR code is a period detail — by 2013 it had become a standard novelty security flourish, appearing on everything from event tickets to promotional currency with no standardized verification backend.
