Created for Charles II in 1661, the crown’s current iteration is a solid-gold headpiece adorned with over 400 precious stones.Both the original St. Edward’s crown and Tudor crown were melted down and sold in 1649 during the English civil war. While the King has yet to reveal his cypher, during his proclamation at St. James’s Palace on Sunday he wore a silver tie pin depicting his grandfather George VI’s Tudor crown-topped cypher.Article contentThe crown is found in scores of military, police and law enforcement logos, crests and regalia across Canada and its provinces, including the Canadian Forces, the Ontario Provincial Police, the Canadian Border Services Agency, and the RCMP.
