| Aanvullende informatie |
The Coronation Spoon is the oldest surviving object in the Crown Jewels, credibly dated to the 12th century and almost certainly used at the coronation of King John in 1199. It is the only piece of medieval regalia to have survived the Commonwealth period intact — Oliver Cromwell ordered the destruction and melting of the Crown Jewels in 1649, and most were sold off or smelted. The Spoon survived because it was sold as a curiosity for sixteen shillings to a royal household servant, who later returned it at the Restoration.
