NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Spanish Royal Crown

The Spanish royal crown, known as crown of Alphonso of Spain, is the symbol of the Spanish monarchy and has been used in proclamation ceremonies since the 18th century. The last Spanish king being solemnly crowned was John I of Castile (August 24, 1358 – October 9, 1390). After him, all Castilian and Spanish kings have taken the royal rank by proclamation and acclamation, although the royal crown has been present in these ceremonies. The current king of Spain, Juan Carlos I was proclaimed King of Spain in 1975 having the Spanish royal crown and the sceptre by his side. The crown, made of gold, features half arches resting on 8 plates bearing the emblems of the Kingdom. Image File history File links This is a lossless scalable vector image. ...
