Jewelled Sword of Offering is a part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. It was made for the Coronation of King George IV in 1820. Its jewels are in the shapes of the floral symbols of the United Kingdom: the rose for England, the thistle for Scotland, and the shamrock for Ireland. It is the only sword actually presented to the Sovereign during the Coronation; the others are merely borne in front of the Sovereign.
