Celeng Majapahit

The culture of saving has been known by society during the Majapahit era. This is evidenced by the discovery of pig-shaped clay piggy banks. The term “celengan” comes from the word ‘celeng’, which means ‘pig’ in ancient Javanese language. This animal is often regarded as a symbol of fertility and wealth. Most likely, the money kept inside these piggy banks was in the form of kepeng, gobog, or kasha coins.
