Unveiling a New Sacred Amulet - Upakut Monk Coin to Conquer Evil Spirits

The Upakut monk is the only sacred being with the power to generate wealth and defeat evil spirits. During the significant merit-making event of the 3rd lunar month at the Phra That Phanom worship ceremony, which begins on the 8th day of the 3rd month each year, a special procession invites Upakut to protect the event for 9 days and 9 nights, becoming famous among spiritual tourists nationwide. The commemorative coin features Upakut in a unique pose of stopping the sun while receiving alms, symbolizing abundance and extraordinary spiritual power. The coin's design includes Upakut seated on a lotus flower above the Serpent King with seven heads, representing the grandeur of the Mekong River region.
