Phra Leela 25th Buddhist Century Amulet (B.E. 2500)

(Also known as: Phra Leela 25 Buddha Sattawas)

Historical Significance

The Phra Leela 25th Buddhist Century amulet, created in B.E. 2500 (1957 CE), is widely regarded as one of Thailand’s most iconic and historically important amulets. It commemorates 2,500 years of Buddhism and was produced to fund the construction of Phutthamonthon (Buddha Precinct) in Nakhon Pathom.

Royal and Artistic Contributions

• King Bhumibol Adulyadej served as the honorary president during the prototype casting and consecration ceremony.

• The amulet was designed in the Sukhothai art style by Thailand’s national artist, Professor Silpa Bhirasri, reflecting the elegance and spiritual grace typical of the Sukhothai period.

Sacred Materials and Mass Production

• Made using sacred powders, ancient amulet fragments, and inscribed yantra metal sheets collected from revered temples and monks across Thailand.

• The amulets were blessed continuously for 7 days and 7 nights by over 108 high-ranking monks.

• Famous contributors included:

  • Luang Phor Toh (Wat Pradu Chimpli)

  • Luang Phor Te (Wat Sam Ngam)

  • Luang Phor Ngoen (Wat Don Yai Hom)

  • Luang Phor Jai (Wat Sadej)

  • Kruba Wang (Wat Ban Den)

Nationwide Celebration and Distribution

• Initiated by Prime Minister P. Phibunsongkhram, who chaired the organizing committee.

• President of the working committee: Pol. Gen. Pao Sriyanondha

• Vice President: Pol. Maj. Gen. Nuang Akhubutra

• Produced and consecrated at Wat Suthat, Bangkok, in two major ceremonies:

  • 9–11 February B.E. 2500

  • 2–4 May B.E. 2500

Production Numbers and Materials

Material	Quantity
Gold	15 pieces
Nak (gold-copper alloy)	30 pieces
Silver	300 pieces
Baked Clay	2,421,250 pieces
Lead/Tin	2,421,250 pieces
Total	4,842,500 pieces

Each donor was asked to contribute 10 Baht per piece for baked clay and lead/tin versions.

Initial Reception and Long-Term Impact

Due to the vast production quantity, the amulets were initially unpopular and remained in storage for decades. Over time, the uncirculated pieces were returned to the Phutthamonthon office. It wasn’t until recent years that all pieces were finally distributed—taking 57 years to exhaust the stock.

As demand rose, collectors began acquiring large quantities. Many pieces were repackaged in newly ordered plastic boxes, sometimes causing confusion over whether they were remade.

Artistic Features

Modeled after the Sukhothai walking Buddha, the amulet reflects:

• Serenity, slight smile, and graceful posture

• Raised heel and lowered gaze, symbolic of Buddha descending from Tavatimsa Heaven to teach his mother

• Loose robes and realistic human proportions

• Sacred gestures (Vitarka and Abhaya Mudras)

The design honors Buddha’s enlightened journey and his meditative walking posture, distinct to the Sukhothai era.
