早在明朝中期,西班牙就已在墨西哥制造“本洋”銀幣(俗稱“雙柱”),至清代乾隆、嘉慶年間,中國對外貿易日趨繁榮,從外國流入中國的銀幣種類也日漸增多。至清朝末年,帝國主義列強掀起了瓜分中國的狂潮。清政府腐敗無能,無法抵御外敵侵略,先后與外國列強簽訂了一系列不平等條約,使中國淪為半封建半殖民地社會。外國列強為了在華爭奪利益,幾十個國家的銀元先后涌入中國,通過不公平貿易,換取我國大量白銀。除“雙柱”外,還有墨西哥“鷹洋”、英國“站洋”、印度支那“坐洋”、日本“龍洋”和德國威廉一世紀念銀幣等品種,其中英國“站洋”以制作精良、圖案美觀而著稱于世。
As early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, Spain had manufactured "native" silver coins (commonly known as "double pillars") in Mexico. During the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, China's foreign trade was flourishing and the types of silver coins flowing into China from foreign countries were increasing. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the imperialist powers set off a wave of partitioning China. The Qing government was corrupt and incapable of resisting foreign aggression. It signed a series of unequal treaties successively with foreign powers, which reduced China to a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. In order to compete for interests in China, the foreign powers have poured into China several dozen countries'silver dollars in exchange for a large amount of silver in China through unfair trade. In addition to the "double pillars", there are also Mexican "Eagle Ocean", British "Standing Ocean", Indochina "sitting Ocean", Japanese "Dragon Ocean" and German William's first century silver coin, among which the British "Standing Ocean" is famous for its excellent production and beautiful design.
