There is no sovereign or recognized administrative entity called "Arctic Territories" that has issued circulating currency. This appears to be a novelty or fantasy note — a privately produced piece with no monetary authority behind it. Such items are sometimes marketed as collectibles, occasionally styled as "legal tender" for uninhabited or unclaimed polar regions, a claim with no basis in international law.
Collect it as a curiosity, not a banknote.
