A pristinely kept and extremely rare Rian Mangorn Koo Nuea Nava Loha Pim Pised Dtok Sorng Code Ma Wat Pha Nong Lom Run Sao Ha Maha Sethee 5th Lunar Saturday Blessing Ceremony Edition Guru Monk Coin, released in 2543 BE, to raise funds for the Kuti Songk Monks Huts and improve the facilities at the temple of Wat Pha Nong Lom.
This model of Rian Mangorn Koo twin dragons Monk Coin is a very rare Pim Pised (Niyom preferred) and differs from the majority of Rian Mangorn Koo Wat Pha Nong Lom Edition coins in Nava Loha, because of the double code MA stamp. Most coins of the Nava Loha series made for Wat Pha Nong Lom have only a single code Ma Stamp (on the Sangkati chest sash of the robe of Luang Phu), and only the Pim Pised special models received double code stamps. Only very few (unknown number) were distributed with double code stamp, making this not only a sacred, powerful master class amulet, but also a rare collectors piece.
The Rian Mangorn Koo of Luang Phu Hmun is, as are all of his amulets, known for the power of Jaroen Lap Wealth Increasement, and Lucky Fortunes, as well as for their Miraculous Protective Powers. Those born in the year of the dragon love to Bucha this amulet especially, for the obvious reason of the double dragon guardians.
For those with lower budgets, who seek power above collectability and rarity, we recommend to seek the Rian Mangorn Nuea Tong Daeng or Nava Loha single Code Ma, of the same edition, which carries a lower price than this special Nava Loha Pim Pised Gammagarn double code collectors edition model.

The Hanuman amulets of Luang Por Sun are considered to be empowered with the most powerful protection magic, as well as for its Metta Maha Niyom Mercy Charm and ability to seduce and entice others into obeying.

The Hanuman of Luang Por Sun came to be known as "Khun Krabi Wanorn" (Lord of the Vanora), and is considered number one Hanuman amulet above the Hanuman of Luang Por Ding (Wat Bang Wua). Just as it is known worldwide that the Master of the tiger tooth amulet is Luang Por Parn of Wat Bang Hia, it is also equally known worldwide, that Luang Por Sun was the Grand Master of Wicha Hanuman of all time. It is extremely difficult in this Era to encounter an authentic carved Hanuman of LP Sun, which are found made from carved sacred woods, and in bone and ivory.
Luang Por Sun Jantachodti, or, 'Pra Atigarn Sun', of Wat Sala Gun, in Gao Gred Nontaburi Province, was born with the name 'Sun', and was a local inhabitant of Pak Gred in Nontaburi.
There is no official biography in existence to be found on Luang Por Sun, but judging from the year of his passing, and his trajectory, one can assume he was born sometime around 2403 or 2404 judging from the few small pieces of documentation available. He was given the ordained name 'Jantachodti'.
Stories which are known about Luang Por Sun have emerged through the local aged Looksit of Nontaburi, such as the fact that during his early times as a monk, he was known to have planted 2 kinds of trees around his Kuti Hut, one being the Dton Put Sorn (concentric Buddha tree), known for having an inhabiting magical powers of Buddhakhun Power, and the other being the Dton Rak Sorn, known for its Magical Maha Sanaeh Power and Inhabiting Deva Spirit. He wouldcare for them with great diligence, as if it were a part of his daily focused meditation (Right Concentration in every moment, one of the 8 factors of the Noble Eightfold Path).
He raised both trees until they were fully grown, and after he was elected to become Abbot of Wat Sala Gun, Luang Por Sun realised that he had been inspired to grow the trees under some mysterious influence, that he was supposed to use them to make sacred amulets. He Then began to perform ceremonies and invocations over time to develop and prepare to make this first edition of amulets, and then uprooted the trees and laid them out to dry in preparation for carving. He then called upon his top artisans, and other devotees to come and assist in the carving of Hanuman images made from the sacred treewoods.
Once the amulets were all carved, he placed them all inside a white cloth and into almsbowls and took them all into his Kuti Hut to empower over time. On auspicious Lunar Saturdays, he would take the amulets into the Uposatha shrine room to empower and perform chanting seated upon magical weaponry. He would repeat these empowerments until the Hamuman amulets eventually began to jump around of their own accord within the alms bowls, which gave LP Sun the signal that the empowerment and invocation, and reanimation spells were complete.
He then began to hand them out to devotees who came to make merits over the years,. Some Hanuman amulets are found made in other substances such as Mai Po Bodhi Tree wood, and Nuea Nga Carved Ivory (which were made after the first edition using the two trees planted by LP Sun, and classed as 'second edition' but are in truth a series of amulets which were constantly carved and handed out continually over decades, and have different ages for this reason, which is visible by patina and expanding of crevices).
The Ivory Hanuman amulets of LP Sun are sepcially favored by richer devotees for they carry a high price, and are extremely renowned for their beauty and magical power of Maha Amnaj commanding power from the Ivory of the Elephant adding Status Increase magic to Hanuman.
Officially when regarding the Hanuman which were carved by the official artisans, two different major models were created; The Pim Hnaa Khone (Khone Mask Model), also known as 'Hanuman Song Krueang' and the Pim Hnaa Krabi, which is less decorative and is wearing less regalia.
Kata Hanuman (given by Luang Por Sun for his amulets)
NA MANG PLERNG MOE MANG BPAAG GRABORK YA MIHAI ORK UD TANG TOE UD TANG AD A SANG WI SU LOE BU SA PU PA MA A U OM YA PUT TAA TA YOE SA DTREE NI SANG HOE
There was once a soldier devotee of LP Sun, named who visited the temple to make merits during the time of the change of rule around 2475 BE. Luang Por Sun gave General Prayaa Paholapohayuhasena a Hanuman Hnaa Khone, and said 'within a very short time a dangerous object will fly safely past you'. After leaving the temple, there was an incident where the officer was in a shootout in the coup, and the bullet flew past him without hitting him. This cause the Hanuman of Luang Por Sun to become bvery popular and bring soldiers from the regiment to the temple as devotees of Luang Por Sun by the hundreds.
Because the Hanuman Mai Gae wooden carved amulets of LP Sun are so rare, and expensive, one must refine one'es eye to be able to define a truly authentic exhibit, by beginning with thinking about or looking at a tree trunk whose wood has been laid to dry over time, and how the wood will contract and become harder and dense, but lighter through moisture loss. If it has been worn a lot then it will be oily shiny in appearance, and if kept as Bucha on the altar will be lighter in color and drier surface texture.
As far as the ivory Hanuman carved amulets of Luang Por Sun, one defines them by 1. design factors 2. age of ivory (if reaches the Era of LP Sun), and 3. Patina (can vary if worn against skin for over ten years or more, or never worn, or in casing - one which have been against the skin for ten years or even many decades will have a much more yellow or brownish patina, or ochre).
