What is the Luang Pho Ueng "Luean Yot Poem Barami" gold Phra Phirap portrait amulet (เหรียญข้าวหลามตัดหลวงพ่ออึ่ง รุ่นเลื่อนยศเพิ่มบารมี)?
A portrait amulet (rian roop muean) carries the master himself on the front; Thai collectors wear one to keep the master's protection close. This one is a rhombus (ข้าวหลามตัด, Khao Lam Tat) coin with Luang Pho Ueng of Wat Choeng Wai, Bangkok, on the front and Phra Phirap (พระพิราพ) on the back. Phra Phirap is a guardian deity in Thai tradition, revered as one of the patron teachers of Thai performing arts and sought for warding off harm and clearing obstacles.
The batch name เลื่อนยศเพิ่มบารมี means "promotion and greater standing", and the three inscriptions on the front follow that theme. The association certificate records the material as solid gold (เนื้อทองคำ) and the year as B.E. 2568.
