This piece of commemorative Rian Yim Wan (sweet smile), also called Rian Pak Baek (protruding mouth), of Luang Pu Ieam, Wat Saphansoong, was consecrated by Luang Phor Thongsuk, the Chao Awat of Wat Saphansoong at the time. This batch of medals was blessed continuously for more than 10 years by Luang Phor Thongsuk. The medals were kept in the temple all the time and were only released to the public for funds raising purposes at 400 baht each in B.E.2549. It is said that “One who wears this medal on the neck, the wearer will never die of violent causes”.

The main ceremony that was intially organised to bless this batch of medals was described as “Phra Dee, Phi Thee Ieam, Puttakhun Yod”, which means “Good amulet, excellent consecration ceremony, the highest grace of the Buddha”.
The front of the medal features Luang Pu Ieam with the words “Than Acharn Ieam” below. The back features a Yant Phra Chao Ha Phra Ong with the description “Ong Gau” (old amulet) and “Chao Awat Wat Saphansoong” (the abbot of Wat Saphansoong, i.e. Luang Phor Thongsuk). Although this batch of medals were released only in B.E.2549 with an affordable price, there are already imitations created due to its popularity.
This piece shown is Rian Yim Wan Luang Pu Ieam in its original and beautiful unworn condition.
