History & Lineage Context
The term “Kathi 59” is commonly understood by collectors as a reference to the Kathin season (กฐิน) in BE2559, often associated with robe-offering and merit activities. The listing does not provide details of a consecration ceremony, issuing committee, or formal release notes. As such, “Kathi 59” should be treated as a listing descriptor rather than confirmed historical documentation.
The monk referenced is Luang Pu Moon of Wat Ban Jan. No biographical summary, endorsement statement, or temple-issued certificate is shown. The most reliable anchors for record-keeping remain the numbered identity No. 1537 and the complete photo set.
Material Notes
The listing does not specify the material of this Phra Bucha. Without confirmation, collectors typically document visible characteristics—surface texture, patina, and base finishing—while leaving the material field open until verified by the source or supporting documents.
Traditional Spiritual Context
In Thai Buddhist practice, Phra Bucha images serve as focal points for devotion, mindfulness, and moral discipline. When associated with a respected monk, devotees may also view the image as a reminder of the monk’s teachings and conduct. These understandings reflect traditional belief and practice rather than guaranteed outcomes.
Rarity & Collector Significance
The presence of a specific number, No. 1537, provides a meaningful collector reference point. However, the listing does not state total production quantity or the system behind the numbering. Until corroborated by documentation, rarity should be considered undetermined.

This Phra Bucha “Kathi 59” is documented through clear listing references: BE2559, association with Wat Pho Si Nuea, attribution by name to Luang Pu Moon (Wat Ban Jan), and the numbered identity No. 1537.
