法属印度支那贸易银圆，俗称坐洋，为清末在华流通的外国银圆之一。银币正面为自由女神坐像，背面的装饰图案为麦穗，法文有“贸易银元”和“法属印度支那”等。坐洋，根据1952年在人民银行内部出版的《银元图说》，其正式名称应为安南银元，亦称“坐人”、“法光”、因为这种银币正面所铸的自由女神坐像头上的花圈有光芒七束，俗称“七角”。但为了叙述方便一般采用“坐洋”的说法。

此组坐洋币为1908年版，钱币正面的主图为手执束棒的自由女神坐像，坐像的两侧所铸法文文字是：REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE。女神座下方有小字法文BARRE和该币发行的年份1908。钱币背面的主图案为一花环，周圈为说明文字，花环上方铸法文为：FRANCAISE INDO-CHINE，银币花环结带上方带有A字母。银币花环下方文字为：TITRE 0.900. POIDS 27 GR。整块银币背面文字的中文意译为：法兰西印度支那。坐洋币银元整体制作精良，版面清晰秀美，文字方正，保存良好，在经过时间的洗礼，岁月的冲刷后包浆自然，更富有其浓厚的历史感，此币存世量极少，十分罕见，具有很高的艺术观赏价值和文物价值。

坐洋时断时续发行至1937年，因为战争的暗影而宣告完毕。而中国在1933年实施废两改元后，船洋、法币逐渐一统商场，恰巧的是这个时分坐洋也销声匿迹了。第二次世界大战完毕后，法国短暂统治印度支那，再没有发行过银质钱银。它在早期的我国对东南亚贸易中起着重要的作用，历史意义极高。

坐洋银币做工精良，成色足，当时受到了亚洲各国人民的青睐。由于第二次世界大战的原因，坐洋丢失毁坏较多，目前存世量寥寥无几，极为珍贵，具有很高的收藏价值。今后随着银元市场的发展，研究的深入，坐洋的发展潜力巨大，是难得一见的珍稀外国货币，收藏前景开阔。

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.

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.
