Luang Por Uttama Monk Coin

Rian Lp Uttama Wat Wang Wiwekaram, 2525 BE Nuea Rom Dam (black coated)

Rare and Sacred Monk Coin of the Great Master Monk of the Mon and Karen people of Kanjanaburi.

Luang Por Uttama (Pra Maha Uttama Rampo Bhikkhu) was one of the Mon hilltribe people's top Master Monks and is highly revered by both Mon, Burmese and Thai people on both sides of the Thai Burmese border. Wat Wangwiwekaram is popularly known by local people of the Kanjanaburi district as 'Wat Luang Por Uttama'.

The temple of Wat Wangwiwekaram was built by Luang Por Uttama himself in 2504, with the help of some devotees who were Gahriang (Karen), and Mon tribe people. The temple was completed in 6 months, and was at first only a 'samnak songk' (sangha office) because it was not yet officially recognized by the Buddhist Organism. Once it had been officially categorized by the Buddhist Organism as a 'Wat' (temple) in 2505 BE, Luang Por gave the name of the temple by using the name of the old municipality (wiwangka) calling the temple 'Wat Wangwiwekaram'.
