What is the Luang Pu Hmun double-dragon portrait coin (Rian Mangkon Khu Luang Pu Hmun 2543)?
Luang Pu Hmun Thitasilo (หลวงปู่หมุน ฐิตสีโล), often written "Luang Pu Moon" in Chinese-speaking circles, was a revered monk of Wat Ban Chan (วัดบ้านจาน) in Sisaket, northeast Thailand. A "portrait" amulet shows the master himself, a "rian" (เหรียญ) is a struck metal coin, and "mangkon khu" (มังกรคู่) means the pair of dragons framing the portrait.
This batch was issued in B.E. 2543 by Wat Pa Nong Lom (วัดป่าหนองหล่ม), Watthana Nakhon District, Sa Kaeo, whose name and the year are cast on the back. The association certificate names it "เหรียญมังกรคู่หลวงปู่หมุน เนื้อทองแดง พ.ศ. 2543". The supplier calls it the "super rich" double-dragon batch and describes it as the most popular Luang Pu Hmun portrait coin among Thai collectors.

Who was Luang Pu Hmun?
Luang Pu Hmun was one of the longest-lived monks of modern Thailand, passing away in B.E. 2546 (2003) at well over a hundred years of age. He was known for decades of austere practice and wandering study under many teachers, and only in his later years did he bless amulets in number. His amulets are highly sought after in Thailand and abroad, above all for changing fortune, wealth and career. According to the supplier, this batch was commissioned by a disciple who searched for him for many years before asking him to bless it.
Blessings
- Wealth: the area his amulets are best known for, for income and business
- Changing fortune: for an upturn in luck and smoother progress
- Career and wishes: for moving work forward and bringing plans to completion
- Safety: warding off harm at home and on the road
Please note: an amulet supports your own efforts and intentions; it does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts is traditionally encouraged.
Craftsmanship
An irregular shield-shaped coin with a rope border. At the centre of the front is Luang Pu Hmun's half-length portrait, lean-faced with clearly defined robe folds, and "หลวงปู่หมุน" below. Two dragons rise from a lotus at the bottom and curl up either side to a Dharma wheel at the top. The back has a yantra of three looped tails over linked heart-shaped loops containing Thai sacred letters, with "วัดป่าหนองหล่ม อ.วัฒนานคร จ.สระแก้ว" and "พ.ศ.๒๕๔๓" around the edge. The copper is a deep reddish brown with natural oxidation in places. It is mounted in a gold-tone case with a bail.
FAQ
Q: Why does the back name a temple in Sa Kaeo rather than Wat Ban Chan?
A: Thai temples often invite a senior monk to bless amulets they issue. This batch was issued by Wat Pa Nong Lom in Sa Kaeo, so its name is cast on the back; the association certificate also records the temple as วัดป่าหนองหล่ม and names the coin as Luang Pu Hmun's double-dragon coin.
Q: How do I know it is the B.E. 2543 batch?
A: The back is cast with "พ.ศ.๒๕๔๓", and the Thai Buddha Image Admiration Association formal certificate reads "เหรียญมังกรคู่หลวงปู่หมุน เนื้อทองแดง พ.ศ. 2543", No. 02587, with a QR code for verification.
Q: Can I wear a copper coin every day?
A: Yes, it is cased. Do not scrub it with cleaners; the natural oxidation is part of its proof of age.
Q: Who is it suited to?
A: People in business and sales, anyone hoping for better fortune and career progress, and collectors of Luang Pu Hmun portrait coins.
