What is the Ajarn Tiew first-batch diamond Phra Phrom gold coin (Rian Rasami Phrom Phra Ajarn Tiew Run Raek Nuea Thongkham)?
Phra Phrom (พระพรหม) is the Hindu god Brahma, whose four faces look to the four directions. In Thailand he is revered as a deity who answers prayers, and the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok is busy with worshippers every day. Phra Phrom amulets made by Thai monks are usually worn for wealth, career, popularity and safety.
"รัศมีพรหม" means "radiance of Brahma", and "รุ่นแรก" means first batch. The batch was issued in B.E. 2545 by Phra Ajarn Tiew (พระอาจารย์ติ๋ว) of Wat Manee Cholakhan (วัดมณีชลขัณฑ์), Lopburi, in a diamond shape. This is the solid gold version; the association certificate states the material as "เนื้อทองคำ".

Who is Ajarn Tiew?
Ajarn Tiew is a monk of Wat Manee Cholakhan in Lopburi, known among Thai collectors for his Phra Phrom amulets and often invited to major Phra Phrom consecration ceremonies. According to the supplier, collectors weighing up a Phra Phrom ceremony look first at whether Ajarn Tiew took part, and some devotees believe he can sense the deity's presence when he blesses Phra Phrom amulets. These are devotees' accounts, shared for reference rather than as a promise of results.

FAQ
Q: How do I know it is solid gold?
A: The Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "เหรียญรัศมีพรหมพระอาจารย์ติ๋ว รุ่นแรก เนื้อทองคำ พ.ศ. 2545"; "เนื้อทองคำ" means gold. Enter barcode GJ09-B5970 on the association's website to see this piece's photo and record; the last product photo is a screenshot of that result.
Q: What about the engraved back and the hair?
A: Some high-grade Thai amulets carry yantra engraved by hand on the back, or sealed-in hair or robe fragments of the master, as a sign of personal blessing. According to the supplier, this piece's back was engraved by Ajarn Tiew himself and it includes the master's hair; the association certificate does not comment on either point.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: Business owners, anyone seeking career growth and popularity, devotees of Phra Phrom, and collectors of Ajarn Tiew's first batch or precious-metal amulets.
Q: How should I care for a gold amulet?
A: Gold is soft, so wear it in a case and keep it away from hard objects. Do not clean it with chemical cleaners.
Q: Why do I request first and pay later?
