imperial crown

The crown is an emblem of victory, sovereignty, and empire. It is a visible sign of success, thus the term "crowning achievement," and its significance as the decoration of the ultimate level of rank and power, makes bearing the crown a great honour. Crowns are also sometimes symbols of God, as he is considered by some to be the “King of all.” The word crown, blazoned without any additional details, usually implies a ducal coronet without a cap. The royal or imperial crown is an emblem of empire and sovereignty. It has a studded rim with alternating crosses and fleurs-de-lis, and it is capped, with four bands of metal meeting in the center at a small cross, mounted on a ball. The imperial crown may also refer particularly to the crown of the German Emperor, though, which is very unique and only appears in a few crests.
