A coronation crown is a crown used by a monarch when being crowned. In some monarchies, monarchs did not wear the one crown but had a number of crowns for different occasions; a coronation crown for the moment of coronation, and a state crown for general usage in state ceremonial. This is especially so for the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth Realms, as the coronation in Westminster Abbey is the coronation of the monarch of all the Commonwealth Realms (there are no separate coronations).
