1895年,英國政府鑄造了新的貿易銀元,俗稱“站人” “站洋”。“站洋”銀元先后在英國倫敦、印度孟買和加爾各答等兩國三地制造,集英文、中文、馬來文等三國文字于一體,這在世界鑄幣史上是非常罕見的。特別是將中國古老的篆字記于外幣之上,令人啼笑皆非。它不僅反映了一段扭曲的歷史,而且反映了英國及其英殖民地國家,一個特殊時期的政治、經濟、文化、書法的發(fā)展變化。所以,“站人”遠遠超過一個國家,一種銀幣的文物價值。
In 1895, the British government forged a new trade silver dollar, commonly known as "standing man" and "standing abroad". The Silver Yuan of "Zhanyang" was manufactured successively in London, Mumbai and Calcutta, India. It integrates English, Chinese, Malay and other three languages, which is very rare in the history of coinage in the world. In particular, it is ironic to write down ancient Chinese seal characters on foreign currencies. It not only reflects a distorted history, but also reflects the political, economic, cultural and calligraphic changes of Britain and its colonial countries in a special period. Therefore, the value of "standing people" far exceeds that of a country, a kind of silver coin.

“站人”銀元作為一種歷史載體,記錄了鴉片戰(zhàn)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。
As a historical carrier, the "standing man" silver dollar 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.
