此枚“站洋币”将于新加坡上拍

19世纪末,帝国主义列强掀起了瓜分中国的狂潮。清政府腐败无能,无法抵御外敌侵略,先后与外国列强签订了一系列不平等条约,使中国沦为半封建半殖民地社会。外国列强为了在华争夺利益,几十个国家的银元先后涌入中国,通过不公平贸易,换取我国大量白银。

At the end of the nineteenth Century, the imperialist powers set off a wave of 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.

站洋币

此枚钱币,"站人"银元图案精美,内涵深邃。正面一名武士,站立岸头,傲视世界。左手持米字盾牌,右手执三叉戟,意为能攻能守,战无不胜。珠圈下左右两侧分列英文ONE-DOLLAR(壹圆),下方记载年号1900年。背面中央有中文篆体"寿"字,上下为中文行体"壹圆",左右为马来文"壹圆"。站人”银元先后在英国伦敦、印度孟买和加尔各答等两国三地制造,集英文、中文、马来文等三国文字于一体,这在世界铸币史上是非常罕见的。特别是将中国古老的篆字记于外币之上,令人啼笑皆非。它不仅反映了一段扭曲的历史,而且反映了英国及其英殖民地国家,一个特殊时期的政治、经济、文化、书法的发展变化。所以,“站人”远远超过一个国家,一种银币的文物价值。

This coin, "standing person" silver dollar design is exquisite, the connotation is profound. Facing a warrior, stand on shore and look up to the world. The left hand holds a rice shield, and the right hand holds Trident, meaning that it can attack and defend, and invincible. Under the bead ring, the English ONE-DOLLAR (one circle) is listed on the left and the right side, and the year 1900 is recorded below. There is a Chinese character "Shou" in the center of the back. It is called "one circle" for the Chinese line. The Silver Dollar of Station Man was manufactured in London, Mumbai, India and Calcutta in succession. 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 ridiculous to record 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, "standing people" far exceeds the value of cultural relics of a country, a silver coin.

站洋币

“站人”银元作为一种历史载体,记录了鸦片战争以后,中国人民政治上受压迫,经济上受剥削的屈辱历史。研究在中国流通的外国货币,对于我们了解外国列强利用银元贸易,掠夺中国财富的罪行,增强爱国主义精神,为中华民族的伟大复兴贡献力量,具有十分重要的意义。现有的站洋币,抛开历史问题,单纯从铸造工艺和艺术性等方面看,此币铸造精良,纹饰丰富美观,极具异域风情,且经过数一百多年的岁月打磨,钱币外表包浆醇厚,让人爱不释手。是收藏价值较高的近代银币,值得入手。

As a historical carrier, the "standing man" silver dollar records the humiliating history of the political oppression and economic exploitation of the Chinese people 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. Existing foreign currency, leaving aside historical problems, is exquisitely minted, beautifully decorated and exotic from the perspective of casting technology and art. After more than a hundred years of polishing, the appearance of the coin is mellow and intolerable. It is a modern silver coin with high collection value.
