Rian Yodkhunphon was consecrated by Luang Phor Chaem in B.E.2516 and is considered the next batch of medals after his Rian Roon Raek. This batch of medals underwent consecration twice led by Luang Phor Chaem. The first time was during a mass-chanting at the main chanting hall of Wat Raikhing and the second time was during the 3-months rainy season consecrated by himself in Wat Donyaihom.
There were 2 batches created during different periods. A total of 5,644 pieces were created for this 1st batch of Rian Yodkhunphon. The quantity made are as follows:
- Nur Samrit Ngern (silver-bronze alloy) 140 pieces
- Nur Nawak (9-metal alloy) 500 pieces
- Nur Thong Daeng Rom Dum (fumigated copper) 5,000 pieces
- Nur Samrit Kalai Thong Long Ya (enameled on gold-plated bronze) 4 pieces
All pieces were struck with the code “Phor Sor” (abbreviation of Phutthasatthawat or Buddhist Era) at the back but some pieces were not struck with the code, which was left out by accident. This batch of medals remains one of Luang Phor Chaem’s most popular medal of the early batches along with his 1st batch medal.
A 2nd batch was created later by Luang Phor Uayphon, a direct disciple of Luang Phor Ngern and Luang Phor Chaem and was blessed jointly by Luang Phor Chaem. The main difference from the 1st batch is that the year “2516” is not shown in front and the design at the back is different. The year produced was also unknown and the quantity made was unrecorded.
