As early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Spain had already made "Benyang" silver coins (commonly known as "double pillars") in Mexico. During the Qianlong and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty, China's foreign trade was booming, and the types of silver coins flowing into China from foreign countries were also increasing.
至清朝末年,除“双柱”外,还有墨西哥“鹰洋”、英国“站洋”、印度支那“坐洋”、日本“龙洋”和德国威廉一世纪念银币等品种,其中英国“站洋”以制作精良、图案美观而著称于世。
To the end of the Qing Dynasty, apart from the "double pillars", there were also Mexico's "Eagle ocean", the British "standing ocean", the Indochina "sitting ocean", the Japanese "dragon ocean" and the commemorative silver coin of William Thi, Germany.
1895年,英国政府利用印度的孟买,加尔各答的造币厂铸造了新的贸易银元,俗称“站人”。“站人”银元先后在英国伦敦、印度孟买和加尔各答等两国三地制造,集英文、中文、马来文等三国文字于一体,这在世界铸币史上是非常罕见的。
In 1895, the British government used the mints in Mumbai and Calcutta, India, to forge a new trade silver dollar, commonly known as "standing man". "Standing man" silver dollar has been made in London, India, Mumbai and Calcutta. It integrates English, Chinese, Malay and other three languages, which is very rare in the history of world coinage.
