Crowns

Terminology
Three distinct categories of crowns exist in those monarchies that use crowns or state regalia.
• Coronation - worn by monarchs when being crowned.
• State - worn by monarchs on other state occasions. (Note that similar headgear, worn by nobility and other high ranking people below the ruler, is in English called a coronet, however in many languages the same word is used, e.g., French couronne, German Krone, Dutch kroon);
