Royal crown of Spain

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The royal crown of Spain is a symbol of state power in the Kingdom of Spain .

The closed royal crown has been on the coat of arms of the Spanish kings since King Philip V (1700) . It has also been part of the Spanish national coat of arms since 1981 .

In modern Spain, kings were not crowned. Therefore there are no contemporary portraits in which they wear a royal crown. On official portraits of the kings Philip V to Alfonso XIII. shows a crown adorned with pearls lying on a cushion, which corresponds to the heraldic royal crown. However, such a crown did not exist as a real item. Therefore, on official occasions when a real object should be present, a crown was used, which the goldsmith Fernando Velasco in 1775 for Charles III. made. Since the swearing in of King Felipe VI. where the crown was seen on a table in Parliament, this crown can be seen in the Royal Palace in Madrid .
