My crown is my heart, Not bought by Indian stones, Nor bought with wealth, Nor with luxury or gold. It is there because that's where it's supposed to, and I wouldn't change it by any of said gifts.Felipo Juxt, a Yudonian poet

Known all around the world for having the biggest diamond on Earth, the Queen's crown is a symbolic item that she wears anywhere she goes. It is seen as the most valuable item in the world, as it is said to have been manufactured by hand more than 150 years ago.

Background

The crown's design was based on Queen Victoria's crown. The crown was manufactured for the coronation of George VI in 1937 by Garrard & Co.. The crown was adjusted for Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953, with the head size reduced and the arches lowered by 25 mm (1 inch) to give it a more feminine appearance.

The Commonwealth

Since Queen Victoria expanded the British Empire into what we all know today as a series of countries into the British Commonwealth, the symbol of the British crown has had a deep meaning on Yudonian people. For Yudonia, the Commonwealth is what gave it birth, what helped its economy, what liberated the country from Spanish hands, what gave it protection and aid during both world wars, and ultimately, a family, and that's exactly what Elizabeth II's crown means: a very respected, powerful and adored woman which lead Yudonia into its path of actual greatness.
