Royal Cypher

A Royal Cypher is a unique combination of letters that represents a reigning monarch. Typically, it includes the monarch’s initials and sometimes their regnal number (for example, “EIIR” for Queen Elizabeth II). These cyphers are used on official documents, royal seals, clothing, and government buildings to signify authenticity and authority of the reigning monarch. They serve as a personal emblem and symbol of the monarchy's presence and endorsement in official matters. Each monarch’s cypher is distinctive, reflecting their identity and reign period.
