Banco Nacional Ultramarino issued this note for Macau, where it held the currency monopoly until 2010 — well past the 1999 handover to China, an arrangement the MSAR government maintained largely to avoid disrupting the territory's parallel pataca-and-HKD monetary setup. The 2015 lunar year issue places this within the ongoing commemorative series tied to the Chinese zodiac cycle, a marketing and collector-driven program rather than standard circulation issue.
The print date of 30 April 1945 in the catalog data is almost certainly a metadata error — BNU's Macau operations were severely disrupted in the final years of World War II, and no zodiac commemorative series existed then.
