Global silver trade from the 16th to 19th centuriesThe global silver trade between the Americas, Europe, and China from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries was a spillover of the Columbian exchange which had a profound effect on the world economy.

Although global, much of that silver ended up in the hands of the Chinese, as they accepted it as a form of currency.
