外國商貿銀元品種紛繁，圖案漂亮，材質珍貴，製作精美，讓人愛不釋手，它代表了所屬國家一個時期的貨幣文化水准，具有很高的藝術觀賞價值和文物價值，也具備了一定的保值和升值功能。存世量比我國的古錢和民國紙幣少得多，當年的擁有者大多為官宦商賈，本不普及，加上清末、民國時期戰亂頻頻，尋常人家中已不多見，况且後來的大量兌換和歷次運動的“洗禮”，使外國商貿銀元的損耗極大，特別是一些比較珍貴的銀幣品種更是罕見，這些也新增了外國商貿銀元收藏的附加值。
The foreign commercial silver dollar has many varieties, beautiful patterns, precious materials, exquisite production, which makes people fond of it. It represents the monetary and cultural level of the country in a period, has high artistic and cultural value, and also has a certain function of preservation and appreciation. The amount of foreign commercial silver dollar in the world is much less than that of our country's ancient money and national paper money. Most of its owners were officials and businessmen. This was not popular. With the frequent wars in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was not common among ordinary people. Moreover, the large amount of exchange and the "baptism" of previous campaigns made the loss of foreign commercial silver dollar very great, especially some of the more precious silver currency varieties. It's rare. These also add value to the collection of foreign commercial silver dollars.
