Serbian Royal Regalia

Serbian Royal Regalia

Serbia, like most former monarchies of Europe, has had a number of crowns once worn by its rulers. The various Serbian principalities and kingdoms spanned a millennia and were organised around a number of different royal dynasties. Many of these invested in symbols of royalty which has led to a number of distinctive crowns, jewels and other treasures of incredible wealth surviving to the present day. As far as is known, there are four royal crowns once worn by Serbian kings or princes that have survived to the present day, of which just one is kept in the modern Republic of Serbia today.
