Item Description
Presenting an authentic and highly sought-after First Generation Phra Chao Ton Luang Coin, issued in B.E. 2512 (1969) by Wat Si Khom Kham, widely known as Wat Phra Chao Ton Luang, Phayao Province, Northern Thailand.
This historic copper issue features the revered Half-Portrait design and belongs to the highly regarded Moon Ring Die Variety (Block Niyom Wong Duean), a recognized and desirable die variation appreciated among serious collectors of Northern Thai Buddhist numismatic and devotional heritage.
Phra Chao Ton Luang is one of the most respected Buddhist images of Northern Thailand and has long been associated with the cultural identity of Phayao. The temple itself stands as one of the region's most important religious landmarks, making early commemorative issues from this period especially attractive to collectors who value historical significance, regional heritage, and authentic temple-issued artifacts.
Unlike later commemorative productions, this first-generation release represents an important chapter in the collecting history of Wat Si Khom Kham. Surviving examples with original character and honest age-related wear have become increasingly difficult to locate in today's market.
The coin displays natural signs of age and use acquired over decades of preservation. Its surface exhibits the rich vintage appearance expected from an original copper issue, enhancing both its authenticity and collectible appeal.
