This is one of several regional overstamp issues produced as the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed following the First World War. Bukovina, ceded to Romania under the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye in 1919, required a transitional currency solution before Romanian integration was complete — existing Austro-Hungarian banknotes were locally overprinted to distinguish them from notes circulating elsewhere and to prevent cross-border arbitrage and currency flight.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the catalog data is almost certainly a data entry error; the underlying Austro-Hungarian crown notes and their regional overstamp variants date firmly to the 1918–1919 transition period.
