The Regalia of Denmark

The Regalia of Denmark are ceremonial objects symbolizing royal authority, used during state occasions and coronations. They include the Crown of Christian IV, the Scepter, the Orb, and the Sword of State. The Crown, made of gold and adorned with jewels, represents sovereignty; the Scepter symbolizes authority; the Orb signifies christianity and unity; and the Sword of State stands for power and protection. These items embody Denmark's monarchy's history and legitimacy and are carefully preserved and displayed for special ceremonies, connecting the current monarchy to its centuries-old tradition.
