Cast commemorative medallion portraying Luang Phor Koon Parisuttho, preserved within a hand-painted 925 sterling silver shrine case and suspended from a 21" silver-plated rolo chain. The reverse bears a traditional protective yantra composed of sacred Khom script and ritual geometry, preserving a visual language that has accompanied Thai Buddhist practice for generations.
Luang Phor Koon (1923–2015) remains one of Thailand's most respected Buddhist monks. Renowned for his humility, generosity, and lifelong commitment to public service, he directed donations toward schools, hospitals, and community projects throughout the country. Medallions bearing his likeness continue to be carried as expressions of remembrance, gratitude, and devotion to his teachings.
The reverse yantra belongs to a long tradition of sacred inscriptions found throughout Thai Buddhism. Composed of ritual geometry and Khom characters, these diagrams are not intended as decoration. They serve as condensed expressions of blessing, protection, and continuity within the Thai Buddhist lineage.

Curatorial Note
Luang Phor Koon occupies a singular place within modern Thai Buddhism. While revered for his spiritual practice, he became equally respected for translating compassion into public action through education, healthcare, and charitable work. His image appears on countless devotional medallions throughout Thailand, preserving not only the memory of the monk himself, but the values he came to represent.
The yantra on the reverse continues an older ritual tradition. Formed from sacred Khom script and geometric arrangements, yantras are understood within Thai Buddhism as visual prayers, preserving blessings through symbol rather than language.
Humility cast in metal.
