Monde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the French newspaper, see Le Monde.
A monde , means "World" in French, is a orb located near the top of a crown. Representing, as the name suggest, the world that the king rules. The only thing that can traditionally be placed above the monde is the Christian cross representing god.
It is the point at which a crown's half arches meet. It is usually topped off either with a national or religious symbol, for example a cross in Christian countries.
