The 1985 Vietnamese 2 Đồng belongs to a series issued during one of the most economically turbulent periods in the country's post-reunification history. Hyperinflation was accelerating badly through the mid-1980s, rendering low denominations like this one functionally useless almost immediately upon release. The 1986 Đổi Mới reforms that followed effectively rendered the entire pre-reform currency stock obsolete within a few years.
The "30.04.1945" printed date is almost certainly a catalog or data error — that date predates the State Bank of Vietnam's existence by several years. The note physically dates to 1985.
