Banco da China has issued commemorative lunar new year notes for the Macau market since 2010, and the 2013 Snake series follows that established pattern. Beijing Banknote Printing House — a subsidiary of China Banknote Printing and Minting Corporation — handles the full run, keeping production firmly within the mainland state apparatus despite Macau's separate monetary system under AMCM oversight.
The print date of 30 April 1945 in the metadata is clearly a cataloging error and should be disregarded.
