Banco da China became one of Macau's three note-issuing banks in 1995, a late addition reflecting the territory's shifting economic ties ahead of the 1999 handover to China. This 10 Patacas is a commemorative issue for the Year of the Horse — part of a lunar new year series that all three issuing banks participate in, producing collector-oriented notes in limited runs rather than notes intended for active circulation.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" date in the metadata is almost certainly a cataloguing error.
