Symbols
There are many symbols
reflecting Canada's status as a
constitutional monarchy,
including those of the Monarch,
as well as the vice-regal
representatives.
St Edward's Crown, made in 1661,
is the official coronation crown
used exclusively in the
coronation of a new monarch.
This is the Crown frequently
seen on many Canadian symbols
such as coats-of-arms, badges,
etc. to convey royal authority.
During World War II, the Crown
Jewels were sent to Canada for
safe keeping.
