清咸豐九年即(公元1859年)墨西哥鷹洋開始流入中國，由于鑄造精良、含銀量高、規格統一和不易磨損等原因，鷹洋很快就被我國人民所接受，成為許多地方的標準貨幣。更由于鷹洋成色好和攜帶方便，它在中國的流通一發不可收拾，很快超過其它各國銀元。致使國內大量的黃金白銀外匯資金外流，古代印第安阿茲特加人受到部落神的啟示，在雄鷹叼著蛇，站在仙人掌上的地方建立家園。直到現在，墨西哥鑄造的所有硬幣上都刻著這樣的國徽圖案。當時，帶有雄鷹圖案的銀幣，由于成色極佳，流入中國后，成為市場通貨，民間稱之為“鷹洋”。
In the ninth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1859 A.D.), the Mexican Eagle ocean began to flow into China. Due to its excellent casting, high silver content, uniform specifications and wear resistance, the eagle ocean was soon accepted by the Chinese people and became the standard currency in many places. Moreover, because of its good color and easy to carry, its circulation in China was out of control and soon surpassed the silver dollar of other countries. As a result, a large amount of domestic gold, silver and foreign exchange funds flowed out. The ancient aztega people were inspired by the tribal gods and built their homes in the place where the eagle held the snake and stood on the cactus. Until now, all coins minted in Mexico bear such a national emblem. At that time, silver coins with Eagle pattern became market currency because of their excellent quality and became market currency, which was called "Eagle ocean" among the people.
“鷹洋”的傳奇故事，不僅表現了墨西哥的鑄幣藝術，更重要的是人類之間友好往來的一個例證。鑄幣史，其實是一個國家、民族的文化的一部分，也是人類文明的重要組成部分。老鷹是墨西哥國徽的標志，所以墨西哥錢幣的正面都鑄有一只老鷹，“墨西哥鷹洋”源出于此。1840年，鴉片戰爭后，中國淪為半封建半殖民地社會，英美等帝國主義國家乘機在中國設立銀行，利用發行紙幣、銀元等方式對我國的進行經濟侵略，而墨西哥、西班牙等一些資本主義國家也不甘落后，遠洋而來，搶占和瓜分中國市場。當時流入中國的外國銀元英國的“杖洋”、日本的“龍洋”等。而流入中國最多的銀元是西班牙的“本洋”，后來才是墨西哥的“鷹洋”。
The legend of "Eagle ocean" not only shows the coinage art of Mexico, but also exemplifies the friendly exchanges between human beings. The history of coinage is actually a part of the culture of a country and a nation, and an important part of human civilization. The eagle is the symbol of Mexico's national emblem, so there is an eagle on the obverse of Mexican coins, and the origin of "Mexican Eagle ocean" is from this. In 1840, after the Opium War, China was reduced to a semi feudal and semi colonial society. British and American imperialist countries took the opportunity to set up banks in China and made economic aggression against China by issuing banknotes and silver dollars. Some capitalist countries, such as Mexico and Spain, were not willing to lag behind and came from abroad to seize and carve up the Chinese market. At that time, foreign silver dollars flowed into China, "Zhang Yang" of Britain, and "dragon ocean" of Japan. The largest inflow of silver into China was Spain's "local ocean", and later was Mexico's "Eagle ocean".
