Silver was used more in interregional trade and was more often used to pay for large transactions, furthermore it wasn't counted by denomination but by weight.Under the reign ofKing Charles III, the design was changed as theSpanish coat-of-armswere superseded by his portrait. The Chinese referred to the Latin numeral"I" as "?" causing the silver coins of Charles III to be known as Sangong (??). Additionally, the depiction of the reigning Spanish monarch inspired the Chinese people to refer to these Carolus dollars as Fotou Yang (???, "Buddha-head dollar").
