The coin’s crowning arguments
As a rule, head decoration has always been associated with power. In the Middle Ages, from the Latin word “corona” that means “wreath”, the most important attribute of the monarch – king’s, prince’s or emperor’s – began to be called “crown”. Putting the crown on the head has become a symbol of the handover and legitimization of power. In almost all countries where the monarchical system reigned or still reigns, the crowns have been handed from generation to generation, although the Kingdom of Belgium, for example, is an exception in this regard (confirming the rule). Today, crowns are not only a testimony of the past power of individuals and families, but above all, extraordinary historical exhibits that we can admire in the most distinctive places for a given country.
