Historical Significance
Produced around BE2500 (1957), this piece comes from Wat Don Yan Nawa, Bangkok, during a period where ritual charm amulets gained strong popularity in the capital. Consecrated by Luang Phor Kuen, a teacher respected for his command of wicha prai (spirit-based sacred formulas), this batch was made for protection, attraction, and spiritual negotiation—qualities strongly associated with “Prai Krasib” or the “Whispering Spirit.”
Reverse — ritual inscriptions with faint hammered texture typical of early BE2500 Bangkok casting.
Contextual Insight: “Prai Krasib” is a lineage of charm amulets deriving from old folk practices where a whispering spirit was believed to convey warnings, luck, and influence over interpersonal dealings. Bangkok masters such as LP Kuen adapted this wicha into coin-format amulets, merging spirit-based wicha with orthodox Buddhist consecration to create a balanced protective–attraction hybrid.

Temple of Origin & Master’s Discipline
Wat Don Yan Nawa, located on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, is historically linked with teachers who practiced wicha maha saneh (charm attraction), katha arkhom (protective mantras), and old Bangkok-style talismanic craft. Luang Phor Kuen was particularly respected for his ability to empower charm amulets that balance spirit influence with Buddhist grounding, producing pieces known for their charismatic pull and protective field.

Rarity & Collector Significance
