Rian Luang Por Koon Yorn Yuk Pi 17, and Rian Yorn Yuk Baramee 19 - Luang Por Koon Bparisutto Coins. Nuea Tong Daeng Man Pu (Copper with Red Oily Finish)

Sacred Guru Monk Buddhist amulet made in the image of Luang Por Koon Purisutto, of Wat Ban Rai temple in Nakorn Rachasima. Official name given for this edition of Amulets, was, "Bparamee 91' which is of course, a reverse numerical anagram of one of the two classic kinds which are represented in this nostalgic edition of plastic monk coins, released in 2519 (Bparamee 19 coin). We recommend this editon both for its qualuty, sacred value, and for its very affordable price, especially considering the gold plated waterproof casing, which is included in the price of these amulets.

These Yorn Yuk Nostalgia meritorious ‘Rian’ coin amulets by LP Koon Bparisutto, have been released to commemorate the 2517 BE and 2519 BE release of the first editions of amulets, which were very well received highly spoken of, and are the two most famous Monk Coins of Luang Por Koon to date, being also the most rare, sought after, and also ridiculously expensive.

These coins are nostalgia pieces to celebrate LP Koon and are made in the same original and ancient style of the first edition and are equally excellent in quality and artistry.

The objectives of this second editions release include the collection of funds to make restorations to the famous and historical Wat Ban Rai, to construct a large ‘bucha’ image in admiration of Luang Por Koon.

Above, the Bparamee 19 BE Nostalgia Replica Edition series, which wwas released with the Pi 17 Yorn Yuk coins. The Pi 17 bears a Head and Shoulder Cameo image, whereas the Bparamee 2519 BE Nostalgia Pieces, bear an image of lLuang Por Koon sitting in meditative posture.

Additionaly, funds will be used to construct a Dhamma foundation for Thailand’s blind population and to create a building at the base of the Pra Somdej Dto statue at the Bodhgaya Foundation.

This is in order to practice the Dhamma and study the Kata Chinnabanchorn of Pra Somdej Dto Prommangsri. 12 different coins in 2 separate sets were intricately pressed.

The first style displays Luang Por Koon sitting with straight face in Samathi and is called ‘Rian Yon Yuk Baramee 17’. This second mold is called ‘Rian Pii Seht Bparamee 19’ and is a bust of LP Koon styled in replica of the 2517 Rian Bparamee Sip Gao Luang Por Koon first edition.

The are 6 different types of sacred metal mixtures used consisting of;

‘Neua Tong Daeng Gao’ ancient copper

‘Tong Daeng Man Bpu’ Sepia Copper (oily texture)

‘Tong Daeng Rom Dam’ Black shadowed copper (oily texture)

‘Tong Daeng Piw Fai’ Copper with fiery skin (most ancient and traditional method of pure copper finish), ‘Tong Daeng Bronze’ Copper with Bronze plated covering and ‘Ngern Pot Duang Tong Daeng’ which is a copper base gilded in silver.

The silver used for the last edition is from ancient solid silver stamped money used up until the Ayutthaya period, which is then smelted down and reapportioned as the gilded covering for the ‘Rian Ngern Pot Duang Tong Daeng’. Each coin in this meritorious release comes encased in a waterproof protective gold casing.

The coins themselves, smelted from sacred metals also bear a piece of ‘Civara Sanghkadti’ outer robe of a Luang Por Koon. The ‘Rian Pii Seht’ Pi 17 version displays a bust of LP Koon with his name written in Thai at the top on the coin face and below Wat Ban Rai Amphoe Dan Khuthot Nakhon Ratchasima.

The backside reveals the horoscope and numerical luck of Luang Por Koon. The Kata Pasa Kom with Angkhara lettering “Sa Ni Tat Sa Na Bpa Dti Kaa Ma A U” is a magical yant of ‘Maha Ud’ gun stopping power and protection to insure against dangers from said weapons.

The kata of which should be intoned before placing the ‘Pra Kreuang’ around ones neck.

On top of the Yant is another yant of ‘Ong Pra’ with three rows of Kata Angkhara lettering “Puttasang Mi” the meaning of which is “Put” being Pra Putta Jao (Buddha), “Ta” representing Tammang (Buddha Dhamma), “Sang” meaning Sangkhang (Sangha) and finally “Mi” coming from Saranang Gachami. All of which is the incantation for those taking refuge in the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha.

The final row contains the Kata “Bpaa I Aa Bpa” The Yant along with all Kata therein are a blessing of ‘Kong Grapang Chaadtree’ invulnerability and protection from dangers, ‘Klaew Klaad’ evasion and ‘Metta Mahaniyom’ popularity and great kindness. Detailed instructions are given for the intoning of the kata as well as the meaning so that the devotee can charge and recharge this scared Buddhist amulet of protection.

“Na Mo Put Ta Ya” is the ‘Hua Jai Pra Putta Jao Haa Pra Ongk’ heart kata of the 5 primordial Buddhas. “Na Ma Pa Ta” is the heart kata of the four elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water “Ma A U” is the kata ‘Hua Jai PraRattana Dtrai” heart of the three jewels of Buddhism i.e. The Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha. “Ma comes from the word Maha Sanghko meaning the great Sangha of Buddhist monks, nuns and lay disciples, “A” from the word Arahang whoch is one who is free from defilement, an enlightened being

i.e. The Buddha and the “U” from Udtamma Tammo or the Buddha Dhamma teachings of the Tathagata. Luang Por Koon insists that the 3 letters “Ma A U” represent 3 major Arahang Buddhist saints, “Ma” being Mogallana, “A” is Ananda and “U” from Pra Upali (Upatissa).

The Kata Maha Ud to enchant the yant on the rear of the coin has been given by LP Koon with the instructions to use only for protection and never sinfully, as follows:

Puttang Uttamang Asangkang Dap - and then followed by kata I Dti Bpi So…

LP Koon’s coins lost popularity after 2537 due to over making of many editions and over productions and counterfeiting due to popularity. Since 2555 BE Luang Por Koon’s amulets have returned to limiting the editions and marking each different pim with a quality code stamp using both modern and traditional methods.

And so a revival of his amulets is afoot, and in motion causing prices to rise again due to popularity.
