The Spanish royal crown.
The actual Spanish royal crown, known as crown of Alphonso of Spain, is the symbol of Spanish monarchy and was used in proclamation ceremonies since 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 took the royal rank by proclamation and acclamation, although royal crown was present in these ceremonies. Actual 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.
