In B.E.2506, a batch of round shaped medals were created for Luang Phor Ngern. There are basically 3 sizes created, namely Phim Yai (large size), Phim Klang (medium size) and Phim Lek (small size). The large size piece is very commonly referred to as Rian “Jikko” Yai (gangster) due to its large size, which is a stereotype of gangsters who wear big amulets on their necks. The medium size piece is referred to as Rian “Jikko” Lek as it is similar in appearance to the large size pieces, only different in size. The small size piece is referred to simply as Rian Klom Lek (small round style) and is different in design and hence named differently.

- Nur Thong Kham (Gold)
- Nur Ngern (Silver)
- Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong (alms bowl material, gold-plated)
For the Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong material, there were 2 moulds being used:
- Block Thong Kham (“gold” mould) or Block Niyom (popular mould). This is actually Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong pieces which were pumped using the mould that was used to create the gold and silver pieces.
- Block Thammada (ordinary mould), which was a separate mould created that was meant to pump the Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong pieces.
This batch of Rian Klom Lek, similar to the Rian Jikko medals of the same batch, is very popular even from the time they were distributed as there were many positive experiences and miracles recounted by devotees. Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong pieces are commonly seen in not so good condition as the gold-plating has easily peeled away over the years.
This piece shown is Rian Klom Lek, Nur Fabaht Kalai Thong (alms bowl material gold-plated), Block Thammada (ordinary mould) in its original and unworn condition with majority of gold-plating intact.
