What is the Phra Ajarn Sunit Phra Poed Lok, Khot Setthi batch (พระเปิดโลก รุ่นโคตรเศรษฐี)?
Phra Poed Lok (พระเปิดโลก), literally "the Buddha who opens the worlds", recalls the Buddha's descent from Tavatimsa heaven after teaching his mother, when, it is said, the heavens, the human world and the hells could all see one another. The Buddha stands on a lotus with both arms lowered and palms facing out. Thais read the gesture as opening the way and clearing obstacles, which makes the Phra Poed Lok one of the country's favourite amulets for turning luck around.
This piece is the "Khot Setthi" batch (รุ่นโคตรเศรษฐี) consecrated by Phra Ajarn Sunit Sujitto (พระอาจารย์สุนิตย์ สุจิตฺโต, called "Luang Pho Sunit" by the supplier) of Wat Pa Ban Ba Tae (วัดป่าบ้านบะแต้), Khon Kaen, issued in B.E. 2561.

Phra Ajarn Sunit and this batch
Phra Ajarn Sunit is a monk of Wat Pa Ban Ba Tae in Khon Kaen, north-eastern Thailand; both the certificate and the issuer's information sheet name him as the consecrating monk (ปลุกเสก). According to the supplier, the batch was cast from melted-down old amulets and blessed in several chanting sessions on auspicious days. The most visible feature is on the back: the monk sealed in pieces of his own robe, his hair and million-baht charm wax, all visible through the case.
Blessings

- Wealth and business: support for income, trade and fresh business ideas
- Goodwill: in Thai tradition the charm wax on the back is for popularity and attraction
- Peace: steadiness of mind and harmony at home
Note: an amulet is an aid to practice and good fortune and does not guarantee any outcome. Keeping the Five Precepts and a good heart is recommended.
Craftsmanship
The coin is a pointed shrine shape. On the front the Buddha stands on a lotus with arms lowered and palms out, flame-like rays behind the head, a small code mark stamped on each side of the figure (a lotus code and a "นะโม" code, according to the issuer's sheet) and the number ๑๕๙ below the base. The back carries a sun-shaped yantra and a vertical line of script, with three marigold petals sealed above and the robe cloth and hair below. The silver is bright and clean. It is mounted in a gold-tone case with clear windows on both sides, so the inserts on the back can be seen directly.
