Comment

The provincial seal shows a pond, which refers to the old name of Phichit, Mueang Sa Luang ('city of the royal pond'). The banyan tree in front refers to Wat Pho Prathap Chang. The temple was built in 1669–1671 by King Luang Sorasak, who was born in the village of Pho Prathap Chang, between a banyan and a sacred fig.

The reverse of the medal for Phichit Province portrays the folk tale of the Evil Crocodile King Chalawan, and the local hero Kraithong, and their epic fight in which the hero defeats the evil King and frees the kidnapped daughters of the local headman.
