當戰馬的鳴啼穿越時空，當金戈聳入云霄，當烽火彌漫山谷，當號角響徹整個時代。我們回首觀望，側耳細聽，過去所留下的痕跡，過去所停留的聲音，觸摸到了這遺留在世的古幣，聞到了他們的銅銹味。古錢幣貫穿了整個歷史，在歷史長河中扮演著重要的角色。
When the warhorse's songs pass through time and space, when Jin Ge shrugged into the sky, when the bonfire filled the valley, the horn rang throughout the era. Looking back and watching, listening to the ears, the traces left in the past, the sounds of the past, touched the ancient coins that were left behind, and smelled their rust. Ancient coins have run through history and played an important role in the long history.
坐洋屬于法屬印度支那貿易銀元，是英國政府在其殖民地印度的孟買、加爾各答的造幣廠鍛造的交易銀元，用于英國在亞洲的交易，也是清末在華流通的外國銀元之一。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”。
The foreign currency belonging to the French Indochina is a silver dollar forged by the British government in its colonial Indian Mumbai and Kolkata mints. It is used for British transactions in Asia and is one of the foreign silver dollars circulating in China in the late Qing Dynasty. According to the "Silver Yuantu" published in the People's Bank of China in 1952, its official name should be Annan Silver Dollar, also known as "sitting people", "Faguang", because the statue of the Statue of Liberty, which is cast on the front of this silver coin, has a wreath on the head. Seven beams of light, commonly known as "seven horns."
據小編查找到的《清季外交史料》資料中有提到出使英法大臣曾紀澤在1879年6月24日奏章中寫到"法國外部瓦定敦咨稱:法國現鑄造大圓銀錢，用之于安南等處地方，并擬用之于附近各國，甚愿貴國收受此錢通行天下，并望海關衙門準其收用。而這個曾大人的意見是"我國家于商民生計，純任自然，故可以明告該國使知法錢可興美錢一律看待，而不能外邀利益也。至于所請海關收用一節，查與…之例不合似難照準…"于是這個折子得到一個"該衙門知道"的意見后 曾大人的觀點便成大清政府的態度 放任自流，官方不受。于是坐洋幣便在云南、廣西、廣東、海南、福建等地也使用。甚至如今在海南還有當姑娘出嫁時壓箱底的風俗。在早期，左洋的流通是我國對東南亞貿易中起著至關重要的作用，但同時也是外國列強對中國貿易侵害的一個佐證。
According to the materials of diplomatic historical materials of the Qing Dynasty, Zeng Jize, the Minister of state of Britain and France who was sent to France, wrote in his memorial on June 24, 1879 that "the great round silver coin cast in France is to be used in places such as Annan and other places, and is to be used in nearby countries. He would like your country to receive the money and pass it around the world, and hope that the customs yamen will allow it to be used.". And Zeng's opinion is that "our country is in business and livelihood, pure and natural, so we can explicitly tell the country to treat all the money that knows the law, promotes the United States and the United States, rather than inviting outside interests.". As for the section for customs use, check with It's hard to follow the rules "So the compromise got a" the Yamen knows "opinion, and then Zeng's opinion became the Qing government's attitude of laissez faire, which was not accepted by the government. Therefore, it is also used in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian and other places. Even now in Hainan, there is a custom of pressing the bottom of the box when a girl gets married. In the early days, the circulation of the left ocean played an important role in China's trade with Southeast Asia, but it was also an evidence of foreign powers' infringement on China's trade.

雖然坐洋幣是真正意義上的曾經在中國流通的外國銀幣，是法蘭西帝國主義在銀元貿易中實施經濟侵略的實物見證，但是由于坐洋幣當年主要是在東南亞地區發行，在中國的流通僅限于南方沿海地區。而坐洋幣的版別有因年號、因改重、因鑄造廠等原因，形成眾多不同的版別，左洋的版別并不復雜，這不僅給收集、收藏帶來了方便，也因給研究、探討更多的啟迪。近年來在各地市場上較為多見，價值也是逐漸攀升，受越來越多的人所熟悉和收藏。
Although sitting foreign currency is a real foreign silver currency that once circulated in China and a physical witness of the economic aggression of French imperialism in silver dollar trade, it was mainly issued in Southeast Asia at that time, and its circulation in China was limited to the southern coastal areas.
