After the above ceremony, LuangPu Toh of Wat Pradoochimplee (Bangkok) was requested to bless these amulets for one more time at Wat Pradoochimplee before it was released. A portion of it was made available for rent to help raise funds for the temple. The remaining were given to the relatives, friends and workers of Srinakorn Bank.

Only 2516 pieces of this kring was made and the nawa material is extremely beautiful, typical of Arjan Sawai handiwork. The code that is used to seal the kring base has the design of a pair of loving swan and is made of pure silver. Prices were a few thousand baht at that time. Now the price is in tens of thousands of baht. But even then, it is difficult to find as many people are not willing to part with it.

Every batch of the Pra Kring amulets created by Arjan Sawai Sumano of Wat Rajnadda (Bangkok) is very popular and has a very high grade of Wat Suthat formula Nawa mixture. His amulets can be considered as one of the best Pra Kring amulets after the Geung PhuthaGan period (After B.E.2500 period).
