The Crown of Christian IV, created for the coronation of Christian IV of Denmark-Norway, on 29 August 1596, is the older of the two surviving crowns of Denmark. Only used for one more coronation, that of his son, Frederick III, in 1648, it is together with the other Danish crown jewels now on display in the Royal Danish Treasury at Rosenborg Castle.
