The crown of Crown prince Carl, who then became King Carl XV of Sweden and Norway, was made in 1846, designed by Johannes Flintoe based on a crown dating from the Middle Ages, and commissioned to the goldsmith Herman Colbjørnsen Øyset.

It is the only piece of Norway's coronation regalia to be made entirely within Norway, and it has never been worn.

It weighs a little over 1kg, and contains a green peridot, freshwater pearls and an amethyst.
