Coin banks, also known as piggy banks, have a long history dating back to ancient times, serving the dual purpose of saving money and as decorative objects. In the 19th and 20th centuries, they became increasingly popular as children's toys and decorative home accessories, often crafted from ceramic, metal, or plastic.

This particular duck-shaped coin bank, made of silver-plated metal, reflects a unique design trend in vintage collectibles.

The addition of small gemstone eyes and a fabric scarf enhances its charm and appeal to collectors. Such items were often produced by various manufacturers, with some gaining recognition for their quality and design, like the "Bridalane" brand mentioned in the listings.

NOTE- bottom lid is missing.
