What is the Luang Pho Sakorn Khun Paen first batch (Phra Khun Paen Luang Pho Sakorn Run Raek)?
Phra Khun Paen (พระขุนแผน) is named after Khun Paen, the handsome, brave and much-loved general of Thai folk legend, which is why Khun Paen amulets are worn above all for charm, popularity and attraction. Luang Pho Sakorn Manunyo (หลวงพ่อสาคร มนุญโญ) of Wat Nong Krub (วัดหนองกรับ), Rayong, is best known for his Khun Paen amulets.
"รุ่นแรก" means first batch. It was issued in B.E. 2530 in large and small molds; this is the small mold (พิมพ์เล็ก). According to the supplier, about 500 small-mold pieces were made.

Who is Luang Pho Sakorn?
Luang Pho Sakorn of Wat Nong Krub in Rayong is closely connected with Luang Pho Tim (หลวงพ่อทิม) of nearby Wat Lahan Rai, and carries on his Khun Paen tradition. Local accounts say Luang Pho Tim named this monk from his own village as the one who would continue his lineage. Prices for Luang Pho Sakorn's Khun Paen have risen sharply among Thai collectors in recent years, and the first batch is especially hard to find.

The back carries "หลวงพ่อสาคร" at the top, a yantra with a metal takrut set in its centre, and "วัดหนองกรับ" below. It is mounted in a gold-tone case with a bail; the small mold suits both men and women.
