Dross is a tiny village in Lower Austria's Krems district, and like hundreds of similarly small municipalities, it issued its own Notgeld during the postwar inflationary chaos when small-denomination coins had effectively vanished from everyday use. These local emergency notes were authorized under a broader Austrian tolerance of municipal paper money between roughly 1919 and 1921, and most were printed in very limited runs — sometimes only a few hundred pieces — intended purely for local trade.
The Rohrhofer credit is worth noting: several Lower Austrian Gemeinden used the same regional designer for their Notgeld sets, which occasionally makes attribution tricky across the Jaksch catalogue. The 10 Heller denomination is among the smallest issued in this series.
