New Release: Luang Pu Tim Prosperity Blessing Coins
Highly collectible 2517 BE "Prosperity Blessing" coins blessed by revered Buddhist master Luang Pu Tim are now being released, with only 17,820 original pieces ever produced due to a sunset deadline on the consecration day in Rayong Provinc
Phra Khru Bhavana Phirat, widely known as Luang Pu Tim Isariko, was the former abbot of Wat Laharn Rai in Rayong Province and a highly respected Buddhist master revered throughout Eastern Thailand. He was the originator of the famous protective amulets and sacred powder talismans. Though he passed away more than 40 years ago, devotion to him has remained steadfast. All of his consecrated amulets are highly sought after, commanding prices reaching hundreds of thousands to millions of baht. There is even a saying that whoever possesses a Luang Pu Tim amulet holds the equivalent of liquid cash in their hands.
Particularly coveted are the 2507 BE portrait coins, his earliest stamped series. Another highly collectible piece is the 2517 BE coin, known as the "Prosperity Blessing" coin, created by Ajarn Chinporn Suksathit, his final and most favored disciple.
Luang Pu Tim authorized production of no more than 20,000 Prosperity Blessing coins, with the strict directive that all stamping be completed before sunset on Saturday, April 21, 2517 BE. However, the production timeline was extremely tight. Work began in early April 2517 BE, and by the time the dies were finished and minting progressed, it had already reached April 17. Consequently, only 17,820 coins were successfully produced. Luang Pu Tim's sunset deadline was based on a spiritual principle: those who use amulets consecrated and completed before sunset will experience only prosperity and success, never decline like the setting sun.
The Prosperity Blessing coins were produced in five different metals:
1. Gold coins: 26 pieces, with "Prosperity Blessing" characters on the lower portion 2. Silver coins: 343 pieces, with "Prosperity Blessing" characters on both upper and lower portions 3. Alloyed metal coins: 1,166 pieces, with "Prosperity Blessing" characters on the upper portion 4. Chin metal coins: 400 pieces, with "Prosperity Blessing" characters on the upper portion 5. Copper coins: 15,895 pieces, with "Prosperity Blessing" characters on both upper and lower portions
Every coin bears a control stamp. All coins underwent seven days and seven nights of consecration.
