ONE OF THE TOP TIERED AMULETS OF LUANG POR SOTHORN!

Among the countless Luang Por Sothorn amulets cherished by generations of devotees, there is one issue that has quietly stood the test of time, earning its place as the definitive and most recognisable medallion ever distributed by Wat Sothorn Wararam Worawihan.

The remarkable piece we present today belongs to that legendary issue.

Created in 2497 B.E. (1954 A.D.), this historic batch was commissioned to raise funds for the restoration and development of the temple. More importantly, it was consecrated during an exceptionally grand ceremony held on 3 November 2497 B.E., bringing together many of Thailand’s most revered monks of the era.

A few notable holy monks were:

1. Luang Por Chaeng, Wat Bang Phang, Nonthaburi
2. Chao Khun Rachamoli, Wat Rakangkositarm, Bangkok
3. Luang Por Nor, Wat Klang Tha Rier, Ayutthaya
4. Luang Por Them, Wat Phra Loy, Suphanburi
5. Luang Por Lhai, Wat Rach Bam Rung, Chonburi
6. Luang Por Kluen, Wat Sang Kho, Suphanburi
7. Luang Por Khaen, Wat Khao Yit Toh, Prachinburi
8. Luang Por Yim, Wat Phai Lorm, Chantaburi
9. Luang Por Huad, Wat Bang Kra Bue, Samut Sakhorn
10. Luang Por Sarm Nieng, Wat Weruwanaram, Nakhon Pathom
11. Luang Por Horm, Wat Chak Mak, Rayong
12. Phra Sangkaraj, Wat Sarm Phantawong, Bangkok
13. Luang Por Aan, Wat Phrayatikaram, Ayutthaya

and many more..

Today, this batch is universally recognised as one of the most significant Luang Por Sothorn medallions ever created and remains a cornerstone batch within the field of Thai Amulets.

This featured piece is known as the 5-6, 6-7 Variant. There are 6 variants made in total.

Many may be confused as to why is it called 5-6, 6-7 and what does it mean. It is actually simple and straightforward.
There are two sides of the medallion and both features the image of Luang Por Sothorn.

The number 5-6, 6-7 derives from the dots found on the top two segments of Luang Por Sothorn’s head on each of the side, hence the term 5-6, 6-7.

The condition of the amulet is among the BEST WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED!

In our opinion, it stands comfortably among the finest examples we have encountered over the years.

Medallions from this issue have now existed for more than seventy years. The vast majority found today exhibit softened details, worn high points, diminished surfaces, or evidence of repeated handling accumulated through decades of ownership.

This remarkable example has escaped that fate.

The original texture remains exceptionally well preserved, while decades of careful stewardship have allowed the surface to develop a rich and beautifully matured natural patina. The subtle hues scattered across both the front and back are exactly the characteristics advanced collectors hope to find.. Untouched, original and impossible to replicate artificially.

Examples preserved to this standard seldom reappear once they enter established collections.

 

It is difficult to properly articulate how incredibly collectible it is for this particular item.

It can be highlight via:

1. Rich history as one of the preeminent Buddha Images of Thailand!
2. Rich history of more than 66 years and counting!
3. One of the top tiered variant!

Luang Por Sothorn amulets are highly revered for its efficacy. It is the preeminent Buddha Image for countless businessman and people from all walks of life to pay respect to and to acquire blessings!

INCLUSIVE OF A CUSTOM MADE SOLID GOLD OPEN/CLOSE CASING!
