Phra Somdej 100th Anniversary Wat Rakhang B.E. 2515 Smiling Face Edition

Description

This Phra Somdej 100th Anniversary amulet was created in B.E. 2515 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the passing of Somdej Phra Phutthacharn (To Phrommarangsee), the venerable abbot who established the legend of Wat Rakhang's amulets. The creation of this edition was one of Wat Rakhang's major projects, involving the careful gathering of sacred materials and the formal performance of Buddhist consecration ceremonies in accordance with the objectives of this commemorative occasion. The 100th Anniversary Phra Somdej is notable for having relatively clear documentation regarding its creation history, purpose, and physical details. Due to this clarity, it has been studied and documented in reference materials by numerous amulet scholars and experts. Over the past several decades, this edition has continuously appeared in amulet studies, collections, and standard amulet competitions, becoming one of Wat Rakhang's most significant Phra Somdej editions and remains regularly discussed among collectors.
