This article explores several rare and highly sought-after Buddhist amulets created by respected spiritual masters. Luang Pu Di, the former abbot of Wat Neua in Kanchanaburi, is renowned for his sacred objects including a valuable Phra Phutthacinarat coin minted in 1938, crafted in silver, copper, and gold-plated copper, featuring the Buddha in the subduing Mara pose on a two-tiered lotus base with protective yantras on the reverse. Luang Pu Rim (Phra Kru Sri Chilangka Sangvorn), the abbot of Wat Chuk Ka Choe in Chonburi, created the first edition Rim bell in 1984, made with sacred materials including fragments from Luang Pu Tim's Sinbunja bells from Wat La Hair Rai in Rayong, along with 108 yantra plates and 14 naga syllables, which underwent three separate consecration ceremonies between 1984 and 1990 and is now extremely rare. The article also mentions Luang Pu Hian of Wat Bang Ra Hohng in Nonthaburi, who created his first edition coins in 1973 in alpaca and copper (1,000 pieces), and Luang Pu Soh of Wat Phi Sri in Nakhon Phanom, who created his Maharaj Millionaire first edition coins in 2017 in various materials including gold, brass with colored enamel, silver, and copper, with these newer amulets already commanding high prices among collectors.
