| Additional information |
There is no sovereign or recognized dependent territory called "Arctic Territories," and no such issuing authority exists in standard numismatic records. This appears to be a privately produced fantasy piece or novelty coin rather than a government-sanctioned issue — a category that saw significant commercial expansion in the 2010s and 2020s as bullion dealers and souvenir manufacturers adopted bimetallic formats long associated with legitimate circulating coinage to lend their products an air of official currency.
