King Erik XIV's Crown
King Erik XIV's Crown is the oldest crown in the world that is still in use as a royal crown. Around the crown ring are small figures of women symbolising the cardinal virtues: Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, Faith, Hope and Charity.
The regalia, the baptismal font and the coronation cloak can be seen in the Treasury at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.
