✅English translation at the bottom

龍婆添於佛曆2537年加持的第一期七龙佛佛牌，共分為六種材質版本：
•  純金：99尊
•  老庙圣钉（Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon）：42尊
•  純銀：500尊
•  九寶銅（Nur Nawaloha）：600尊
•  紅銅：1,500尊
•  黃銅：14,000尊

什麼是老庙圣钉（Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon）？為何其數量甚至比純金還稀少？

Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon是一種古老釘子，最初以錫為主，可能混合鋅、鉛、水銀等金屬合金所鑄成，主要用於固定木造建築結構，特別是在佛寺或皇宮的建築中。在大城王朝時代，由於尚未有現代的鐵釘與螺絲，當時的人會將綠錫熔鑄成圓條、方條，再製作成有尖端的釘子，稱為「Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon」。

這些釘子曾經用來固定佛寺內的重要建築與神聖物件，經歷數百年來的晨昏課誦與誦經儀式，更不乏高僧大德定期在寺中加持佛牌，使得這些釘子蘊含著深厚的宗教能量。

當一些古廟歷經歲月倒塌後，有智慧的古代法師發現這些山卡瓦儂釘經得起歲月洗禮，且長期受法會與加持的影響，認為其中蘊含無比佛力，便將之收集並重新熔煉，混入佛牌與聖物製作中。

此外，Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon也常被用來製作具有辟邪效力的法器與靈刀，靈驗無比。過去，人們認為直接將寺廟物品帶回家是不妥的，必須先轉化成佛像或佛牌後，才可佩戴或供奉。因此，擁有以此材料所製的聖物，不僅象徵吉祥與庇佑，更被視為極具法力與價值的寶物。

正因材料取得困難、歷史久遠、法力深厚，使得Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon版本的佛牌成為比純金還珍貴的稀世之作。

What is Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon, and why are so few pieces made—rarer even than pure gold?

Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon refers to ancient nails originally crafted from a tin-based alloy, which may also include elements such as zinc, lead, or mercury. These nails were used to fasten wooden structures, particularly in the construction of temples and palaces. During the Ayutthaya period, conventional nails or screws did not exist, so green tin was melted and cast into round or square rods with pointed ends, known as Sangkhawannon nails.

These nails played a vital role in anchoring sacred structures and permanent fixtures within temples. Over centuries, they were continuously exposed to religious rituals, including daily prayers and consecration ceremonies conducted by resident abbots. As a result, the nails absorbed significant spiritual energy.

When temples eventually deteriorated or collapsed, knowledgeable ancient masters recognized the spiritual value of these Sangkhawannon nails. Having endured the test of time and been blessed through countless rituals, the nails were believed to be infused with potent Buddhist powers. Thus, they were collected and melted down to be mixed into the creation of sacred metal Buddha amulets.

Their spiritual potency also made them a favored material for crafting protective talismans such as magic knives or other ritual tools. Traditionally, it was considered inappropriate to bring raw temple materials directly into the home. Instead, they had to be transformed—most commonly into Buddha amulets—before being kept for personal reverence.
Because of their deep spiritual significance and limited availability, genuine pieces made from Nur Tapu Sangkhawannon are extremely rare and valued.
