Serbian Royal Regalia
Serbia, like most European nations and former monarchies, has a history of crowns worn by its rulers. Serbia has had many rulers and royal families. As such Serbia has several distinct crowns followed by many jewels and other treasures of incredible wealth. As far as know, there are evidences of four Serbian royal crowns, of which only one is in Serbia today.[1]
Nemanjić Crowns
The Nemanjić Crown Jewels were used for the coronation of the House of Nemanjić. Crown of Stefan Dečanski is now kept in the Cetinje Monastery in Cetinje, Montenegro.[2] There are also some historic data that crown of House of Hohenstaufen once belonged to the some of the Serbian medieval rulers.[1] Also, in Vienna Royal Treasury can be found two of the crowns that belonged to the knez Stefan Bockaj. Together with the crown one golden mantle buckle was captured from Ottomans by town of Kronstadt.[1][3]
Karađorđević Crown
The Karađorđević Crown Jewels were created in 1904 for the coronation of King Peter I. The pieces were made from material that included bronze of Karađorđe's cannon. This gesture was symbolic because 1904 was the 100th anniversary of the First Serbian Uprising. They were made in Paris by the famous Falise brothers jewellery company. This crown is only Serbian crown that is today held in Serbia.[1]
