Pra Kring Naresuan Mong Ngai is considered by many to be the most complete pra kring. Extremely exquisite design with excellent nawa material. In addition, the phittee phutta pisek is conducted by many popular masters of those days.

It is always included in all major amulet competitions held in all regions and falls under the "Most popular Pra Kring" category. It is extremely popular among collectors and the price has gone up to more than 50,000 baht for a normal one.
Besides condition, the color of the skin plays an important part in determining the value of this pra kring. The redder the skin, the higher the price it commands. A nice and flawless condition one with original skin intact, sharp and clear code hammered at the base, coupled with a very red skin will enable the pra kring to command a very high price in the market.
This piece as shown in the picture has all the characteristic as mentioned above. This is why it was able to win 3rd prize in a major competition even though it was held in homeground (Chiang Mai), where one can expect the competition to be fierce and the number of entries to be very high.
