The Kingdom has recently commissioned a new state crown to replace the 2021 version made for HM Queen Louisa for her coronation on August 18th 2021.
Grouchia has a long history and tradition of crowning its monarch, as it can be traced back to its early days of founding, and the beginning of its modern history when the Kingdom was founded under the name Grouchess in June 2019. The first modern monarch to be crowned was Queen Kiki II, despite her short ruling period. Her Majesty was crowned with a simple steel crown made for her coronation.
As time passes by, in December 2019, the second monarch of Grouchia, which was King Leo has ordered the steel coronation crown which he was also coronated with to be modified to better represent the sovereignty of the Kingdom. The crown was painted gold and four half arches were added as well as a few precious stones and a top piece, which the design of the crown remains unchanging until today.
After the coronation of Louisa as the new monarch in 2021, the government has felt that it is important for the monarch to have a different state crown to be worn as the Kiki II's crown was created specially for a coronation, and it might not be suitable to be used other than the purpose of the ceremony. Therefore, the new silver state crown with four half arches was commissioned. The crown was larger in size and lined with maroon silk cap inside. It was modified several times until May 2023 until it has not in a wearable condition anymore.
So the government has immediately commissioned a new state crown to replace the 2021 one, with the intention of the new crown resembling the 2021 crown. The crown has four arches, blue velvet capped, opposite to the one of the old crown has which was marroon.

It is more larger in size and mounted with more stones and pearl is dominant on the crown. The centre stone is an orange ruby and the top piece is of the old crown, a diamond and ruby flower but situated on a pearl supported crescent. the velvet cap is dark blue, the circlet is decorated with rubies, sapphires, and diamond-surrounded teardrop emeralds.
