法屬印度支那貿易銀圓，俗稱坐洋，為清末在華流通的外國銀圓之一。銀幣正面為自由女神坐像，背面的裝飾圖案為麥穗，法文有“貿易銀元”和“法屬印度支那”等。坐洋，根據1952年在人民銀行內部出版的《銀元圖說》，其正式名稱應為安南銀元，亦稱“坐人”、“法光”、因為這種銀幣正面所鑄的自由女神坐像頭上的花圈有光芒七束，俗稱“七角”。但為了敘述方便一般采用“坐洋”的說法。
此組坐洋幣為1908年版，錢幣正面的主圖為手執束棒的自由女神坐像，坐像的兩側所鑄法文文字是：REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE。女神座下方有小字法文BARRE和該幣發行的年份1908。錢幣背面的主圖案為一花環，周圈為說明文字，花環上方鑄法文為：FRANCAISE INDO-CHINE，銀幣花環結帶上方帶有A字母。銀幣花環下方文字為：TITRE 0.900. POIDS 27 GR。整塊銀幣背面文字的中文意譯為：法蘭西印度支那。坐洋幣銀元整體制作精良，版面清晰秀美，文字方正，保存良好，在經過時間的洗禮，歲月的沖刷后包漿自然，更富有其濃厚的歷史感，此幣存世量極少，十分罕見，具有很高的藝術觀賞價值和文物價值。
坐洋時斷時續發行至1937年，因為戰爭的暗影而宣告完畢。而中國在1933年實施廢兩改元后，船洋、法幣逐漸一統商場，恰巧的是這個時分坐洋也銷聲匿跡了。第二次世界大戰完畢后，法國短暫統治印度支那，再沒有發行過銀質錢銀。它在早期的我國對東南亞貿易中起著重要的作用，歷史意義極高。
坐洋銀幣做工精良，成色足，當時受到了亞洲各國人民的青睞。由于第二次世界大戰的原因，坐洋丟失毀壞較多，目前存世量寥寥無幾，極為珍貴，具有很高的收藏價值。今后隨著銀元市場的發展，研究的深入，坐洋的發展潛力巨大，是難得一見的珍稀外國貨幣，收藏前景開闊。
The French Indochina trading silver circle, commonly known as Zuoyang, was one of the foreign silver circles circulating in China in the late Qing Dynasty. The front of the silver coin is a seated statue of the Statue of Liberty, and the decorative pattern on the back is a wheat ear. French words include "trading silver dollar" and "French Indochina". Zuoyang, according to the "Silver Dollar Illustrated" published in the People's Bank of China in 1952, its official name should be Annan Silver Dollar, also known as "Zuoren" and "Faguang", because the front of this silver coin is cast on the head of the Statue of Liberty. The wreath has seven beams of light, commonly known as "seven horns". But for the convenience of narrative, the term "zaiyang" is generally adopted.
This set of sitting foreign coins is the 1908 edition. The main picture on the front of the coin is a seated statue of Liberty holding a stick. The French text on both sides of the seat is: REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE. Below the goddess seat is the small French BARRE and the year 1908 of the coin's issuance. The main pattern on the back of the coin is a garland, the surrounding circle is explanatory text, the French word on the top of the garland is: FRANCAISE INDO-CHINE, and the silver coin garland has an A letter above the knot. The text below the silver coin wreath is: TITRE 0.900. POIDS 27 GR. The Chinese translation of the words on the back of the whole silver coin is: French Indochina. The silver dollar of the sitting foreign coin is well-made overall, the layout is clear and beautiful, the text is square, and it is well preserved. After the baptism of time and the scouring of the years, the patina is natural, and it has a strong sense of history. This coin is very rare and rare. It has high artistic appreciation value and cultural relic value.
Zaiyang was released intermittently until 1937, when it was declared over because of the shadow of war. After China implemented the abolition of the two yuan reforms in 1933, Chuanyang and French currency gradually unified the shopping malls. It just so happened that at this time, Zuiyang also disappeared. After the end of the Second World War, France briefly ruled Indochina and never issued silver. It played an important role in my country's trade with Southeast Asia in the early days, and its historical significance is extremely high.
Sitting foreign silver coins are well-made and of good quality, and were favored by people in Asian countries at that time. Due to the Second World War, Zuoyang was lost and destroyed a lot. At present, there are very few in existence. It is extremely precious and has a high collection value. In the future, with the development of the silver dollar market and the in-depth research, Zuoyang has a huge potential for development. It is a rare and rare foreign currency with a bright future for collection.
