Luang Pu Ton Kantasilo of Wat Khao Noi Kirivat in Ban Bueng District, Chachoengsao, was a revered Buddhist master who earned the deep faith of countless devotees. As a respected monk, he commissioned the creation of numerous amulets and sacred objects over the years, including medals, powders, cast figurines, and bells. Among his most popular creations is the "first edition portrait medal from 1979," distributed as a commemorative gift to those who contributed funds toward the construction of the ordination hall and residence.

The medal features an oval shape with a connecting loop at the top, created in 200 pieces of white metal alloy and 2,000 pieces of darkened copper. The front displays a half-length portrait of the monk facing forward, wearing robes draped over one shoulder, with "Luang Pho Ton Kantasilo" inscribed along the top edge. The reverse shows a square yantra design with diagonal lines and four Khmer letters spelling "cha-pha-ka-sa" inside. The temple name and location "Wat Khao Noi Kirivat, Ban Bueng District, Chachoengsao" appear on the upper edge, with "2522" (Buddhist Era) on the bottom, indicating the creation year.

Luang Pu Ton consecrated the first edition amulets according to ancient rituals and chanting practices, including the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, the Buddha's first sermon. These medals remain highly sought after by amulet collectors and devotees throughout Chachoengsao.
