銀元，作為曾經的主要流通貨幣，反映了當時的政治、金融與文化背景、歷史價值不菲。再者買賣銀元屬于實物投資，交易比較靈活，具有收藏價值投資風險小、增值穩定等特點，加上銀元系稀有貴重金屬，所鑄制作數量比銅幣、鐵幣、紙幣等少得多。存世數量有限，自然會越來越受追捧。

坐洋銀幣作為一種歷史載體，記錄了鴉片戰爭以后，中國人民政治上受壓迫，經濟上受剝削的屈辱歷史。研究在中國流通的外國貨幣，對于我們了解外國列強利用銀元貿易，掠奪中國財富的罪行，增強愛國主義精神，為中華民族的偉大復興貢獻力量，具有十分重要的意義。古錢幣極具觀賞性與歷史價值，如同其他古玩一樣被藏家們所青睞。古錢幣的價值一般是按照存世量來決定的。藏品市場歷來有物以稀為貴之說，外國早期商貿銀元由于傳世日久，而坐洋銀幣在戰爭后，至今存世量寥寥無幾，極為珍貴。像此枚坐洋銀幣品相好的幾乎很難找到，可謂鳳毛麟角。
As a historical carrier, the ocean-sitting silver coin records the humiliating history of Chinese people's political oppression and economic exploitation after the Opium War. Studying foreign currencies circulating in China is of great significance for us to understand the crimes of foreign powers using silver dollar trade to plunder China's wealth, to strengthen the spirit of patriotism, and to contribute to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.Ancient coins are of great ornamental and historical value, and like other antiques, they are favored by collectors. The value of ancient coins is generally determined by the amount of money in stock. Collection market has always said that rare things are precious. Foreign early commercial silver coins have been handed down for a long time, but after the war, there are very few foreign silver coins, which are extremely precious. It's almost impossible to find a silver coin like this, which is very rare.
