The crown, which dates back to the 17th century, was made for King Charles II after Oliver Cromwell had the original destroyed during the English Civil War. It is believed to be a copy of the crown of Edward the Confessor. The intricately designed crown is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the British monarchy.
