Phra Luang Pu Thuad Lang Tao Reet “Pim Apache 1st Issue” – Ajahn Nong – Year 2534 B.E. – Made of SOLID GOLD (Only 9 pieces made in the world ; Actual piece featured in Magazine)

Perhaps a piece, even veterans and esteemed collectors of this trade, has never laid their eyes on.

A truly amazing sight to behold. We were awestruck when we were given the opportunity to acquire this extremely rare piece.

Blessed by Ajahn Nong of Wat Sai Kao, Pattani, in Year 2534 B.E. (1991 A.D.) to celebrate and commemorate his 72nd Birthday.

There were a total of 3 different material variants:

1. SOLID GOLD – Only 9 pieces made in the world with every piece serialized with a serial number
2. SILVER – Only 199 pieces made in the world
3. NAWALOHA – Only 199 pieces made in the world

This piece is serialized with the serial number: 6 out of 9 pieces made in the world!

The condition of this truly amazing piece is nothing short of spectacular! Every single detail has been properly casted. A near flawless condition!

The two mould variants pay direct homage to the 1st Issue Luang Pu Thuad “Lang Tao Reet” made in Year 2505 B.E. (1962 A.D.) by Ajahn Tim of Wat Chang Hai, Pattani. Many industry veterans would also know that Ajahn Nong was also instrumental in participating in ALL MAJOR consecration ceremonies with regards to Luang Pu Thuad amulets prior to Ajahn Tim’s passing.

With only a recorded 9 SOLID GOLD pieces made in the entire world, it would be an extremely demanding task to be able to encounter another similar piece!

This stunning piece was also featured as a SUPERSTAR PIECE in the cover page of a highly prestigious magazine published more than 3 decades ago! Such an archive will only further propel the already immense collector’s value into further heights! By being the actual piece in one of the most prestigious magazines about Thai Amulets three solid decades ago, collectors, both present and future, eliminate all possible complications and worries about the authenticity and originality of the amulet!

Ajahn Nong is what we industry veterans considered the “DIRECT LINEAGE” of a particularly prominent amulet as Ajahn Nong was the next TOP TIERED Holy Monk for the consecration and creation of Luang Pu Thuad amulets after Ajahn Tim of Wat Chang Hai.

Many would assume that Phra Ajahn Nong was the disciple of Phra Ajahn Tim of Wat Chang Hai. That is actually incorrect.

Instead, they are renowned members of the Sangha and effectively learnt from one another during their monk-hood.

Did you know that Ajahn Nong was instrumental in the creation of the TOP TIERED ultra-expensive Luang Pu Thuad Year 2497 B.E.? It was said that both monks visited Bangkok seeking for methods of creating the 1st Batch of LP Thuad 2497, but because of the lack of funding, they returned back to Pattani and created it using primitive means and materials!

We are unable to articulate how amazingly collectible! This is something you truly don’t see everyday!

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