Help identify a gold coin from Thailand.

I have looked around, but I can't find any more info on this coin. 

It's around 21mm in diameter and about 1mm thick.

It was bought in Thailand approximately somewhere in the last 40 years.

 

This site describes it as, Coin of Luang Pho Uttama, back of Luang Pho La, Wang Wiwekharam Temple, Kanchanaburi Province, year 1997 of Thailand

Current bid is 120 Baht (~ US $4)

It's a medal not a coin.  Why do you think it's gold?

 

(I think it's the same but not 100% sure.)

Thanks for checking! I've been told that it's real gold. I do think you're on to something though even if they aren't the same coin. It seems to be a gold coin from a temple.

The link I posted definitely wasn't gold. What's the weight of yours?

magnet test?

Hey, I took it to a gold shop today and had it evaluated. You were right, it's not made of gold. The weight is 5 grams.
